光纤拉曼放大器现状的研究

拉曼放大器以其能放大任意波长、有较宽的增益谱、较低的等效噪声指数和较好的增益平坦度等,使其成为理想的光纤放大器。它是通过受激拉曼效应实现光放大,同时存在前向泵浦、后向泵浦和双向泵浦三种结构。并能与EDFA进行配合使用,得到性能更好的光放大器。为光纤通讯传输能力升级、光纤放大方案优化的最佳选择。但同时它也存在泵浦功率要求高、增益均衡和偏振相关增益等问题还有待解决。     

分立式光纤拉曼放大器泵浦方式的实验研究

对分立式光纤拉曼放大器的前向、后向泵浦方式进行了实验研究。拉曼增益介质为10km的色散补偿光纤。分别测量了前、后向泵浦的分立式FRA的增益、噪声指数和动态范围。实验结果表明,当泵浦功率小于500mW时,前、后向泵浦的分立式FRA的增益几乎相等。当泵浦功率大于500mW时,在前向泵浦的分立式FRA中发生了受激布里渊散射,前向泵浦的FRA的增益小于后向泵浦的FRA的增益,前者的噪声大于后者的噪声;前向泵浦的FRA不再具有增益保持特性,而后向泵浦的FRA仍具有增益保持特性。当泵浦功率大于500mW时,分立式FRA应该采用后向泵浦的方式。     

双程泵浦分立式拉曼放大特性的研究

采用后向泵浦的方案,对新型双程放大分立式光纤拉曼放大器(D-DFRA)的增益特性进行了理论计算,并在双程泵浦放大条件下对增益和噪声特性及受激布里渊散射(SBS)效应进行了实验测量,计算与测量结果较好符合.本文的研究表明:对分立式拉曼放大器通过反射机制实现泵浦光的双程泵浦,可在泵浦功率不变和保持较好噪声特性的同时,大大提升放大器的增益和功率转换效率.增益的提升上限取决于系统受激布里渊散射的阈值,在双程泵浦下增益的上限可得到提高.     

高功率双包层Er3+/Yb3+共掺光纤放大器的动态响应

基于速率方程的离散算法,分析了双包层Er3 /Yb3 共掺光纤放大器的动态响应,显示了输出功率和增益的动态特征。当单个脉冲注入放大器时,输出脉冲的峰值功率不仅依赖于输入脉冲的峰值功率,而且依赖于泵浦功率;当脉冲序列注入时,输出脉冲的功率和增益最终将收敛于它们的稳态值。在双信道情况下,输入脉冲重叠时的输出功率和增益变得更陡峭。在连续波泵浦下,反向自发辐射输出功率(ASE-)首先快速地增加到峰值功率,然后单调下降到稳态值;在脉冲波泵浦下,反向自发辐射输出功率(ASE )与光纤长度成反比,而ASE-与光纤长度成正比。

在DCF光纤中放大的背向自发拉曼散射的增益特性

光脉冲沿色散补偿光纤（DCF）传输会产生背向自发拉曼散射,当入纤激光功率大于阈值时,出现放大的背向自发拉曼散射现象。实验发现,反斯托克斯（ASR）和斯托克斯（SR）自身脉冲光纤拉曼放大的阈值泵浦峰值脉冲功率是18．2W和14．5W．当入纤激光功率为52W时,背向SR和ASR散射的增益分别为12dB和7dB。放大的反斯托克斯和斯托克斯背向自发拉曼散射时域曲线上的阈值时间位置随激发功率的增大而前移并具有规律性。

Fiber Raman gain amplifier performance study using simple coupled-mode analysis

The propagation characteristics of doped fiber amplifier have, already, been analyzed using simple coupled-mode analysis (CMA), which steers the interests to apply this simple theory to study the amplification performance of fiber Raman gain amplifier (FRGA). But such study is yet to be done for FRGA. In this paper, a premier report based on CMA is presented to analyze and predict the performance of FRGA for first time, as per our knowledge, using coaxial structure consisting of step-index profiles in both inner and outer cores in terms of effective area, Raman gain coefficient, and effective Raman gain coefficient. In our investigation, we use single pump to compute and compare our results with the results obtained by involved matrix method and a fairly excellent match over a wide region of frequency shift is reported.     

光纤拉曼放大器中级联的受激布里渊散射

在以25kmG652单模光纤为增益介质的光纤拉曼放大器中,观察到了级联的受激布里渊散射。光纤中的双瑞利折射作用导致了二阶布里渊散射光子的出现,加快了二阶布里渊散射的出现。在拉曼增益的作用下,随着二阶布里渊散射的饱和会出现级联的多阶布里渊散射,形成梳状光谱。该梳状光谱也具有明显的阈值特性。在拉曼泵浦功率是1200mW的时候,出现梳状光谱的阈值在1.5到2.5dBm之间。在传输系统中,级联的受激布里渊散射会导致放大器的增益饱和,严重恶化系统的信噪比,因此必须采用增加信号光的带宽或者对信号光进行调制等措施加以控制。但该现象也有可能被用来制造梳状光源。     

Performance of two-stage discrete fiber Raman amplifiers with and without all-optical gain clamping

Using numerical simulations, we analyze the properties of two-stage discrete fiber Raman amplifiers without and with all-optical gain clamping. In both cases a two-stage amplifier can be designed to have the same gain characteristics as a single-stage amplifier with improved noise performance by use of either the same total length of gain fiber (but with increased pump power) or total pump power (but with increased total length of gain fiber).     

Wavelength-tunable semiconductor pump diode for reconfigurable Raman amplification

We demonstrate a wavelength-tunable semiconductor pump diode for Raman amplification. Thediode is stabilized by a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that can be continuously tuned over more than 20 nm. Tuning of the diode output wavelength is achieved by varying the center wavelength of the FBG, since the diode preferentially lases within the FBG bandwidth. We investigate the effects of wavelength tuning on the diode spectrum on its corresponding Raman gain, and on pump-pump four-wave mixing in fiber having zero-dispersion wavelength coincident with the Raman pumps.     

Effects of different Raman pumping schemes on stimulated Brillouin scattering in a linear cavity

The effects of backward, forward, and bidirectional Raman pumping schemes on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is investigated in this study. By using a linear cavity, we utilize residual Brillouin pump (BP) and Raman pump (RP) power after each transmission through a 25 km single-mode fiber (SMF) used as a gain medium. The SBS threshold power is reduced in the forward, backward, and bidirectional Raman pumping schemes by 2.5, 1.75, and 2.75 dB, respectively when the 1480 nm RP power is fixed at 150 mW and the BP wavelength is 1580 nm. Surprisingly, it is revealed that the SBS threshold reduction depends strongly and solely on Raman gain and it is independent of the Raman pumping schemes. In addition, the effect of Raman amplification on SBS is more effective at the SBS threshold, especially in the bidirectional and forward schemes.     

Gain and noise figure enhancement of Er+3/Yb+3 co-doped fiber/Raman hybrid amplifier

An Er/Yb co-doped fiber/Raman hybrid amplifier (HA) is proposed and studied theoretically and analytically to improve the gain and noise figure of optical amplifiers. The calculations are performed under a uniform dopant and steady-state conditions. The initial energy transfer efficiency for Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) is introduced, while the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is neglected. The glass fiber used for both Er/Yb and Raman amplifiers is phosphate. Different pump powers are used for both EYDFA and RA with 1 μW input signal power, 1 m length of Er/Yb amplifier and 25 km length of Raman amplifier (RA). The proposed model is validated for Er/Yb co-doped amplifier and Raman amplifier separately by comparing the calculating results with the experimental data. A high gain and low noise figure at 200 mW Raman pump power and 500 mW Er/Yb pump power are obtained for the proposed HA as compared with the experimental results of EYDFA, Raman amplifier and the EDFA/Raman hybrid amplifier.     

色散补偿型分布式光纤喇曼放大器的实验研究

在后向抽运和前向抽运方式下,采用光纤喇曼激光器作为抽运源,对S波段色散补偿型光纤喇曼放大器(FRA)进行了实验研究。在增益和噪声特性方面,后向抽运方式优于前向抽运方式。在后向抽运时,测量了5kmDCF-50kmG652光纤色散补偿型分布式FRA,分布式FRA和分立式FRA等三种FRA增益和噪声光谱特性,色散补偿型分布式FRA的增益和噪声特性均优于分布式FRA和分立式FRA。在后向抽运方式下,5kmDCF-50kmG652光纤色散补偿型分布式FRA的抽运功率增大时,其增益增大,噪声指数减小。在抽运功率为1.0W时,当信号功率为0dBm时,最大开关增益为21.4dB,增益光谱大于10dB的带宽超过50nm,噪声指数小于-0.05dB。在同样抽运条件下,色散补偿型FRA的增益与小信号功率无关。
