Low pump power photonic crystal fibre amplifiers 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Designs of low pump power optical amplifiers, based on photonic crystal fibres are presented. The potential of these fibre amplifiers is investigated, and it is demonstrated that such amplifiers may deliver gains of more than 15 dB at 1550 nm with less than 1 mW of optical pump power. We focus on the design of erbium-doped photonic crystal fibre amplifiers operated at very low pump powers. We achieve this by using PCFs with large air holes and thereby large index contrasts. With such high index contrast fibres, we may obtain very small mode field diameters. 相似文献

10 Gbit/s, 100 km nonrepeated fibre transmission has been demonstrated using a high-sensitivity receiver with two-stage cascade-connected semiconductor optical amplifiers and a pin PD front end. The sensitivity and its improvement were -23.5 dBm and 12.2 dB respectively, resulting in the allowable span-loss of 24.5 dB.<> 相似文献

New configurations of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers have been investigated for the 0.98 mu m and 1.48 mu m pump wavelengths. A doubling of the gain coefficient has been predicted for reflective type amplifiers at the cost of a noise figure increase of 1.5 dB.<> 相似文献

A new method for flattening the gain spectrum of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) is proposed. This method is based on microbending long-period fibre gratings, that are simply fabricated by bending the fibre. By adjusting the spectral profiles of the filters mechanically, a gain flatness of <1 dB has been obtained, and gain improvement of <5.32 dB over the 33 nm wavelength range at two different pump powers of 34 and 86 mW, respectively. 相似文献

The wavelength of an intensity-modulated signal at 10 Gbit/s was translated from 1546 to 1531 nm using cross gain-compression in a semiconductor optical amplifier. The shifted signal was transmitted with less than 1 dB penalty over a 121 km span of dispersion-shifted fibre with two in-line amplifiers. A dispersion penalty of nearly 2 dB is measured for transmission of 6 Gbit/s data over 20 km conventional fibre 相似文献

Operation of L-band erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) incorporating a reflective amplified spontaneous emission filter (fibre Bragg grating (FBG)) was emulated with a tunable source. The experimental optimisation of the FBG bandwidth and central wavelength led to a low noise (<5.2 dB) 20 dBm single-pumped WDM EDFA. 相似文献

A limiting optical amplifier is demonstrated using three cascaded stages of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers. A constant output power of +12.9 dBm was obtained for an input power ranging from -30 to 1.5 dBm. The optical noise figure of the amplifier has been measured over the >30 dB dynamic range. Design guidelines for optical limiting amplifiers are also presented.<> 相似文献

By choosing pump wavelengths at which excited state absorption does not occur, efficient high gain operation of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers is possible. Practical pump wavelengths of 532 nm and 980 nm are identified as optimal, giving gains as high as 1.35 dB/mW and 2.2 dB/mW of pump at the two wavelengths, respectively.<> 相似文献

Automatic spectral gain equalisation is demonstrated using controlled spatial hole-burning in an erbium-doped twincore fibre. Gain equalisation rates up to 0.11 dB difference between input signal levels are demonstrated and should increase the useful bandwidth of cascaded amplifiers.<> 相似文献

In optical communication systems using fibre amplifiers, polarisation-independent isolators with high isolation are desirable. A simple effective method to realise polarisation-independent optical isolators is proposed. The isolator consists of spatial walk-off polarisers, half-wave plates, and a conventional polarisation-dependent isolator. The measured forward loss of the assembled isolator is 0.38 dB and 0.32 dB at 1.3 and 1.55 mu m wavelengths, respectively. The backward loss is 55.5 dB and 63.5 dB at 1.3 and 1.55 mu m wavelengths, respectively.<> 相似文献

1.3 μm GaInAsP near-travelling-wave laser amplifiers have been realised by the combination of angled facets and antireflection coatings. Without in situ monitoring on the device itself during dielectric coatings, one can routinely obtain a low effective modal facet reflectivity of 5-8×10-4. The devices had an internal gain of 24±1.5 dB for the TE mode and a single-mode fibre coupling loss of 5 dB/facet 相似文献

Using a comprehensive computer model, it was shown that the effects of excited state absorption (ESA), in the 800 nm pump band, in alumino-phosphate-silicate (APS) erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) can be reduced significantly by using bidirectional pumping. If a band optimum length (BOL) is selected, a near optimum small signal gain (SSG) can be constant over broad pump wavelength regions due to the combined effects of ESA and ground state absorption (GSA). Hence, multilongitudinal mode, high power, reliable and inexpensive GaAlAs laser diodes can be used as pumping sources for EDFAs having SSG > 40 dB, noise figures of <4 dB, and output signal powers approaching 100 mW. These fibre amplifiers could be used as line repeaters, preamplifiers, and power amplifiers in different lightwave systems.<> 相似文献

Estimates are given of the intrinsic multiphonon absorption of trivalent rare earth (RE) dopants in glasses. The orders of magnitude of 1.5 dB/km in ZBLAN glass and 3.5 dB/km in silica glass as far as 2000 cm/sup -1/ from an electronic transition can contribute to what is generally called the 'background loss' and could explain why fibre lasers and amplifiers can be pumped outside usual electronic RE transitions.<> 相似文献

A novel high thulium concentration doping technique is proposed for shifting the gain band in thulium-doped fibre amplifiers (TDFAs). The gain peak shifts from 1473 to 1505 nm when the Tm3+ concentration is increased from 2000 to 8000 ppm. The authors have achieved gains of >18 dB and a noise figure (NF) of <7 dB from 1480 to 1510 nm (30 nm bandwidth) for a total pump power of 500 mW 相似文献

Automatic gain control for erbium doped fibre amplifiers is achieved via active stabilisation of the amplifier output power. This technique automatically compensates for any changes in the amplifier gain caused by local environmental and optical effects. Output power is also stabilised for changes in optical input signal, allowing for a full 5 dB repair margin per link in long span systems.<> 相似文献
