Optical amplification in Er3+-doped single-mode fluoridefiber

The amplification characteristics at around 1.5 μm of a 0.9-m-long, 1000-p.p.m Er³⁺-doped single-mode fluoride fiber are discussed. By using 1.48-μm laser diodes with 55-mW launched output as a pump source, a gain of 1.75 dB was obtained at 1.530 μm. A broad bandwidth of 40 nm was obtained, which may be suitable for wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) system use     

Multi-pump discrete Raman amplifier for CWDM system in the O-band

We demonstrate theoretically that discrete Raman amplifiers operating in the O-band region (1260–1360 nm) are more efficient than in any other band if we consider the fiber attenuation. Compared with the C-band (1530–1565 nm), the net gain is 3 dB higher. We present also theoretically two types of discrete Raman amplifiers which can be used in the O-band with a course wavelength division multiplexing system. The first amplifier has a bandwidth of 70 nm that was designed with four pump lasers operating at 12XY nm. The second one has a bandwidth of 100 nm and needed six pump lasers to obtain a flattened gain across the O-band. In addition, we have analyzed the gain saturation in both optical amplifiers.

The gain profile is broader than achieved in a fluoride fiber and overlaps with the C-band of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier. We reach a fiber-to-fiber gain of 11 dB and an internal gain of 35 dB.

Performances of Erbium‐Doped Fiber Amplifier Using 1530nm‐Band Pump for Long Wavelength Multichannel Amplification

The performance of a long wavelength‐band erbium‐doped fiber amplifier (L‐band EDFA) using 1530nm‐band pumping has been studied. A 1530nm‐band pump source is built using a tunable light source and two C‐band EDFAs in cascaded configuration, which is able to deliver a maximum output power of 23dBm. Gain coefficient and noise figure (NF) of the L‐band EDFA are measured for pump wavelengths between 1530nm and 1560nm. The gain coefficient with a 1545nm pump is more than twice as large as with a 1480nm pump. It indicates that the L‐band EDFA consumes low power. The noise figure of 1530nm pump is 6.36dB at worst, which is 0.75dB higher than that of 1480nm pumped EDFA. The optimum pump wavelength range to obtain high gain and low NF in the 1530nm band appears to be between 1530nm and 1540nm. Gain spectra as a function of a pump wavelength have bandwidth of more than 10nm so that a broadband pump source can be used as 1530nm‐band pump. The L‐band EDFA is also tested for WDM signals. Flat Gain bandwidth is 32nm from 1571.5 to 1603.5nm within 1dB excursion at input signal of –10dBm/ch. These results demonstrate that 1530nm‐band pump can be used as a new efficient pump source for L‐band EDFAs.

Optimum design of Er3+-Yb3+ codoped fibersfor large-signal high-pump-power applications

A comprehensive numerical fiber amplifier model has been used to optimize Er³⁺-Yb³⁺ codoped active fiber for maximum gain and quantum conversion efficiency (QCE) at large signal operation. The optimum cutoff wavelength of the LP₁₁ mode has been found to increase from 800 mm at low pump powers (≈50 mW) to 1400 mn at pump powers higher than 500 mW. While at low pump powers fibers with higher numerical aperture give higher QCE, at high pump levels better large signal performance is achieved with fibers having lower numerical aperture     

Erbium-doped optical fiber amplifiers pumped in the 660- and 820-nmbands

State-of-the-art erbium (Er)-doped optical fiber amplifiers (EDFA's) pumped in the 660- and 820-nm bands are described. We have demonstrated highly efficient EDFA's incorporating optimized 664- and 827-nm pump wavelengths and an Er-doped high numerical aperture (NA) fiber with thermally diffused expanded core (TEC) fiber ends. Gain coefficients of 3.8 and 1.3 dB/mW at respective wavelengths of 664 and 827 nm were achieved at a signal wavelength of 1535 nm. Noise figures of 3.1 and 4.1 dB at respective pump wavelengths of 670 and 827 nm were obtained at a signal wavelength of 1535 nm. A highly efficient Er-doped fiber amplifier module, in which an AlGaInP visible laser diode (LD) was used as the pump source, was successfully developed as a practical application of this technology. A maximum overall gain coefficient of 3.0 dB/mW was achieved at a signal wavelength of 1535 nm. The EDFA module realized a maximum overall signal gain of 33 dB at 1535 nm with a saturated output power of -1 dBm. A maximum saturated output power of 3.9 dBm was obtained at a signal wavelength of 1552 nm. The present EDFA design using a low-cost laser diode for optical disk memory use and a high NA Er-doped fiber has great potential for providing inexpensive, high-performance EDFA's
