High-sensitivity two-stage erbium-doped fiber preamplifier at 10Gb/s

An optical preamplifier with a record sensitivity of -38.8 dBm (102 photons/bit) at 10 Gb/s has been demonstrated. When the amplifier is employed in a practical link without an input isolator, the sensitivity is only slightly degraded to -37.6 dBm (135 photons/bit) by input coupling losses and feedback due to Rayleigh backscattering in the transmission fiber. It is predicted that this penalty can be reduced to 0.15 dB with an improved isolator in the composite EDFA

Rayleigh scattering reduction method for silica-based optical fiber

The effect of the thermal treatment of silica-based glasses and glass fibers on their Rayleigh scattering is investigated experimentally. The Rayleigh scattering coefficients of bulk glasses are found to be increased 5-10% by heating them to 1800 °C because the density fluctuation is in proportion to their fictive temperature. Based on these results, we propose a method for reducing the Rayleigh scattering losses of silica-based optical fibers by drawing them slowly at low temperatures. We used this method to obtain a GeO₂ doped silica core single-mode fiber with a minimum loss of 0.16 dB/km at 1.55 μm. As a result, we confirmed that the reduction in the fictive temperature of silica-based glasses and glass fibers reduces their Rayleigh scattering

This paper reports an optical preamplifier intended for low-cost fiber-optic receivers. The preamplifier is based on a resistive shunt-feedback topology, is power-optimized and employs two different frequency compensation techniques, phantom zeros and shunt-peaking. The circuit is designed in a 1.8 V 0.18 μm CMOS technology. Experimental results report a transresistance of 58 dBΩ and a bandwidth of 1.5 GHz, respectively.
