Optimal Design of Flat-Gain Wide-Band Fiber Raman Amplifiers
We present a novel method for desiging multiwavelength pumped fiber Raman amplifiers with optimal gain-flatness and gain-bandwidth performance. We show that by solving the inverse amplifier design problem, relative gain flatness well below 1% can be achieved over bandwidths of up to 12 THz without any gain equalization devices. This constitutes a substantial improvement in gain flatness compare...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent gain and noise in fiber Raman amplifiers.
An experimental investigation of the temperature dependence of the gain and noise performance of a silica-fiber Raman amplifier is described. A decrease in the Raman scattering cross section in a fiber amplifier cooled from a temperature of 300 K to 77 K was measured and found to be in agreement with theoretical values. No difference between the Raman gain coefficients at these two temperatures...
متن کاملStatistics of polarization-dependent gain in fiber-based Raman amplifiers.
We develop an analytic model for finding the statistics of polarization-dependent gain (PDG) in fiber-based Raman amplifiers. We use it to find an analytic form for the probability distribution of PDG and study how the mean PDG and the variance of PDG fluctuations depend on the PMD parameter. We show that mean PDG as well as PDG fluctuations are reduced by approximately a factor of 30 in the ca...
متن کاملCopropagating and counterpropagating pumps in second-order- pumped discrete fiber Raman amplifiers.
The gains and noise figures of discrete second-order-pumped fiber Raman amplifiers utilizing copropagating and counterpropagating pump configurations were experimentally obtained, and the gain results were compared with computer simulations. It was found that the additional gain that is due to second-order Raman pumping is larger for the copropagating pumps than for the counterpropagating pumps...
متن کاملHigh Gain Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers
Performance improvements by using an isolator as an amplified spontaneous emission suppressing component within erbium-doped fibers are evaluated. Simultaneous high-gain and near-quantum-limited noise figures can be obtained by such a scheme. The noise figure improves for input signal powers below -5 dBm and an improvement of 2.0 db with a simultaneous gain increase of 4.1 dB is measured relati...
