A 105-nm ultrawide-band gain-flattened amplifier combining C- and L-band dual-core EDFAs in a parallel configuration

A novel structure for ultrawide-band gain-flattened amplifier by combining two pieces of C- and L-band dual-core erbium-doped fibers is reported. This novel amplifier has a flat gain of 15 dB over a wavelength range of 105 nm (1515-1620 nm). The gain variation for the C-band flat gain region (1515-1555 nm) is 1.3 dB, and for the L-band flat gain region (1562-1620 nm) is 1.5 dB. The noise figure varies from 4.5 to 4.8 dB over the whole bandwidth. The structure of the design is simple without the need of additional expensive components.     

Gain clamping in two-stage L-band EDFA using a broadband FBG

A gain-clamped long wavelength band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (L-band EDFA) with an improved gain characteristic is demonstrated by simply adding a broadband conventional band (C-band) fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in a two-stage amplifier system. The FBG reflects backward C-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from the second stage back into the system to clamp the gain. The gain is clamped at about 22.4 dB with a gain variation below 0.4 dB for input signal powers of -40 to -15 dBm. Compared with an unclamped amplifier of similar noise figure values, the small signal gain has improved by 2.4 dB due to the FBG which blocks the backward propagating ASE. At wavelengths from 1570 to 1600 nm, gain of the clamped amplifier varies from 19.4 to 26.7 dB. The corresponding noise figure varies by /spl plusmn/0.35 dB around 5 dB, which is not much different compared to that of the unclamped amplifier.     

Gain clamping in L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier using a fiberBragg grating

A gain-clamping technique for the long wavelength band (L-band) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is presented. It uses a single fiber Bragg grating (FBG) on the input side of erbium-doped fiber (EDF) to inject a portion of backward conventional band (C-band) amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) back into the system. The use of a narrow-band (NB) FBG has shown a better performance in clamped-gain level and noise figure compared to a broad-band FBG. The amplifier gain for the NB FBG set up is clamped at 15.4 dB with a variation of less than 0.3 dB for an input power as high as 0 dBm

Coupled structure for wide-band EDFA with gain and noise figureimprovements from C to L-band ASE injection

We propose a novel structure for C plus L-band silica based wide-band erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (W-EDFA's), which use backward amplified spontaneous emission from the C-band EDFA as the pump-mediating injection source for the L-band amplifier unit. Experimental results show gain and noise figure improvements of over 2.6 dB and 0.6 dB, respectively, at -3.5 dBm of L-band input signal power. Spatially resolved numerical analysis confirms the pump-mediating effect of C-band backward ASE in the L-band EDFA for the gain and noise figure improvement, which also provides better understanding on the dynamics of C-band injection seed methods

Design and Control of Gain-Flattened Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier for WDM Applications

A simple experimental method to design gain-flattened erbium-doped fiber amplifier is proposed and demonstrated based on the two linear relations between the output power and the pump power, and between the gain and the length of the erbium-doped fiber at the gain flattened state. The spectral gain variation of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier constructed by this method was less than 0.4 dB over 12 nm (1,545~1,557 nm) wavelength region. The gain flatness is also controlled within 0.4 dB over the input power range of ?30 15 dBm/ch through the feedback control utilizing the amplified spontaneous emission power in the 1,530 nm region.     

Improvement of gain and noise figure in double-pass L-band EDFA by incorporating a fiber Bragg grating

An obvious improvement on both the gain and noise figure (NF) is demonstrated in the new double-pass L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with incorporating a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Compared with the conventional L-band EDFAs, the gain is improved by about 6 dB in the new configuration for a 1580-nm signal with an input power of -30 dBm at 60 mW of 980-nm pump power. It is important that the NF is greatly reduced in the new configuration, as the FBG greatly compresses the backward amplified spontaneous emission. For the economical utility of pump power and erbium-doped fiber length, such a configuration may be a very competitive candidate in the practical applications of L-band EDFAs.
