L-band erbium-doped fibre amplifier with clamped- and flattened-gain using FBG

A gain clamped long wavelength band erbium-doped fibre amplifier (L-band EDFA) based on a ring laser cavity is demonstrated using a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) at the output end of the amplifier. This new design provides a good gain clamping as well as a gain flattening. The gain is clamped at 16.9 dB with gain variation of less than 0.1 dB from input signal power of -40 to -18 dBm by setting the VOA=5 dB. Also, the amplifier has the flattest gain spectrum at VOA=5. The gain variation is less than 1.0 dB within the wavelength range from 1570 to 1600 nm. This gain clamped amplifier also can support a 12 channel WDM system.     

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.     

Design of Hybrid Optical Amplifiers for High Capacity Optical Transmission

This paper describes our design of a hybrid amplifier composed of a distributed Raman amplifier and erbium‐doped fiber amplifiers for C‐ and L‐bands. We characterize the distributed Raman amplifier by numerical simulation based on the experimentally measured Raman gain coefficient of an ordinary single mode fiber transmission line. In single channel amplification, the crosstalk caused by double Rayleigh scattering was independent of signal input power and simply given as a function of the Raman gain. The double Rayleigh scattering induced power penalty was less than 0.1 dB after 1000 km if the on‐off Raman gain was below 21 dB. For multiple channel amplification, using commercially available pump laser diodes and fiber components, we determined and optimized the conditions of three‐wavelength Raman pumping for an amplification bandwidth of 32 nm for C‐band and 34 nm for L‐band. After analyzing the conventional erbium‐doped fiber amplifier analysis in C‐band, we estimated the performance of the hybrid amplifier for long haul optical transmission. Compared with erbium‐doped fiber amplifiers, the optical signal‐to‐noise ratio was calculated to be higher by more than 3 dB in the optical link using the designed hybrid amplifier.

All-optical gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber-ring lasing amplifierwith laser filtering technique

A unique laser filtering technique of a gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier based on ring-laser cavity is demonstrated. The filtering mechanism is achieved using a single fiber Bragg-grating, which also functions as a laser feedback reflector at the output end of the amplifier. This new design has low noise and most important, shows up to 98% reduction in output laser intensity as compared with a previous design studied earlier. An optimum result with gain and noise around 25 and 3.5 dB, respectively, obtained for a dynamic range of input signal power up to -8 dBm     

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     

Transmission and saturation performance of dispersion-shifted distributed erbium fibre

The gain spectra for a bidirectionally pumped 30 km length of lightly doped dispersion shifted erbium fibre and the amplification performance in saturation of a 54 km length of similar fibre are presented. The longer length comprised six spliced fibres with an average erbium concentration in the core of approximately 60 p.p.b. and could be rendered lossless with 2*30 mW of pump power for low power signals. With 2*55 mW of pump power a peak fibre gain of 17 dB at 1536 nm was realised; as the input signal power was increased the gain was suppressed but the fibre remained transparent for signal powers up to -2 dBm.<>
