High peak power Ytterbium doped fiber amplifiers
1 Abstract We have tested a series of Ytterbium doped large core fibers operating near 10Kpps and producing pulses of approximately 1ns. We have achieved 850μJ/pulse resulting in peak powers in excess of 2MW with 0.4ns pulses and near diffraction limited beams. In another fiber, we have achieved over 1.5mJ/pulse with pulses of 900ps corresponding to 1.65MW of peak power and M of 2.5. In the lat...
متن کاملThermo-optical effects in high-power ytterbium-doped fiber amplifiers.
We investigate the effect of temperature gradients in high-power Yb-doped fiber amplifiers by a numerical beam propagation model, which takes thermal effects into account in a self-consistent way. The thermally induced change in the refractive index of the fiber leads to a thermal lensing effect, which decreases the effective mode area. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the thermal lensing e...
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...
متن کاملFiber-Based Optical Parametric Amplifiers and Their Applications
An applications-oriented review of optical parametric amplifiers in fiber communications is presented. The emphasis is on parametric amplifiers in general and single pumped parametric amplifiers in particular. While a theoretical framework based on highly efficient four-photon mixing is provided, the focus is on the intriguing applications enabled by the parametric gain, such as all-optical sig...
متن کاملOptical Fiber Amplifiers-Review
This paper reviews optical fiber amplifiers such as Erbium doped fiber amplifiers EDFAs, many types of Raman amplifiers RAs, Thulium doped fiber amplifiers, Tellurite-based fiber Raman amplifiers, semiconductor optical amplifiers and fiber optic parametric amplifiers, principle of operation and construction. As these amplifiers are used for optical fiber communication projects so we shall go th...
