Effective suppression of signal-wavelength dependent transients in a pump-controlled L-band EDFA

Typical pump-controlled L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) in a feed-forward scheme give significant transients due to gain difference on wavelength of input signal when only a few channels are left. The fiber Bragg grating added pump-controlled L-band EDFA eliminates the wavelength dependent gain difference and transients.

Gain spectrum equalization of all-optical gain-clamped erbium-dopedfiber amplifier

We experimentally investigate the gain spectrum of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers whose gain is clamped by internal laser oscillation. The gain is ideally clamped and immune to the input signal power in the wavelength range of 17 nm. The clamped gain spectrum is equalized by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and we achieve the 17-nm-wide uniform gain, which is not dependent on input optical power levels     

Gain dynamics of 14xx-nm-pumped thulium-doped fiber amplifier

Upconversion pumping in the 14xx-nm range gives the thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) a 3-dB dynamic range of 15 dB, and transient power excursion much lower than the conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifier during dynamic wavelength add-drop, due to the energy transitions inherent to the Tm/sup 3+/ ion. For specific pumping scheme and operating conditions, gain increases with increasing signal input, a behavior significantly different from conventionally optical amplifiers. This phenomenon is studied experimentally and theoretically, and promises to provide insight for gain control algorithms for TDFAs under bursty traffic conditions in a metropolitan area network environment.

On the Temperature-Dependent Gain and Noise Figure Analysis of C-Band High-Concentration EDFAs With the Effect of Cooperative Upconversion

We present an efficient temperature-dependent analysis to study the effect of cooperative upconversion on the temperature-dependent gain (TDG) performance of the C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) at high-concentration. The influence of cooperative upconversion on the TDG is examined by using a set of temperature-dependent rate and light propagation equations. In the analysis given, the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), as well as the excited state absorption (ESA) are also considered. In the forward pumping configuration at a signal wavelength of 1547 nm and in the temperature range of - 40degC to + 80degC, the variations of the TDG and the noise figure (NF) are about 1.7 and 0.9 dB, respectively. Numerical analysis results show that, with 260-mW/1480-nm pump power, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier having a doping concentration of 4.4 times 10²⁶ ion/m³ and optimum length of 9.2 cm may reach a signal gain of 44.6 dB and a noise figure of 3.9 dB at room temperature.     

Improved Automatic Filtered Power Control Pumping Method for Uniform Shortpass Band in Optical Fiber Communications

To form a low noise figure and uniform shortpass band in optical fiber communications an improved automatic filtered power control (AFPC) pumping method is proposed here. A modulated single laser signal was entered in a closed feedback loop, in which the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) was used as a part of the AFPC loop. Owing to the constant filtered signal and the quadrature phase shift delay inside the feedback loop, an optical pass band was uniformly formed. This EDFA attains high performance with a low noise figure simultaneously. The method was successfully applied to the fabrication of practical 12.0 m length of erbium-doped fiber pumped at 980 nm wavelength and 20 dBm power. Experiments prove that the signal gain of the loop remain flat in the range of 18.2 to 22.4 dB with a worst case error of ±0.5 dB and the noise figure was reduced by 2.2 dB at optimal, which correspond to a shortpass range of 40 nm band pass from 1525 nm to 1565 nm in wavelength. Of course, it should be possible to extent the system performance to all pumping configurations for semiconductor optical amplifiers. This provides the simplest and most economical way to transmit a well-defined band of modulated laser signal and to reject all other unwanted radiation.     

Calculation of the noise figure of erbium-doped fiber amplifiersusing small signal attenuations and saturation powers

A theory allowing the noise figure of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to be computed with a reduced set of fiber parameters is evaluated. The approach is accurate when the amplified spontaneous emission has no significant influence on the gain. Then four parameters, saturation power and absorption coefficient for pump and signal wavelength, are sufficient for 980-nm pumped fiber amplifier. This theory is used to investigate the noise characteristics of a 980-nm pumped booster amplifier within the whole gain spectrum
