Increasing mode instability thresholds of fiber amplifiers by gain saturation.
We show by numerical modeling that saturation of the population inversion reduces the stimulated thermal Rayleigh gain relative to the laser gain in large mode area fiber amplifiers. We show how to exploit this effect to raise mode instability thresholds by a substantial factor. We also demonstrate that when suppression of stimulated Brillouin scattering and the population saturation effect are...
متن کاملImpact of Input Pump Profile on the Gain Spectrum and the Saturation Behavior of One-Pump Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifiers
In this article, the impact of input pump profile on the gain spectrum as well as the saturation behavior of one-pump fiber optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs) is investigated. Since in practical circumstances, pump sources used for FOPAs have Lorentz-Gaussian profile instead of Gaussian, a more realistic case is considered for simulating FOPAs in this article. The results of simulations for ...
متن کاملSolitons in fiber amplifiers beyond the parabolic - gain and rate - equation approximations
We explore the existence of solitons in a nonlinear, dispersive, amplifying medium based on a model that makes neither the parabolic-gain approximation nor the rate-equation approximation. Without these approximations, the Maxwell-Bloch equations no longer reduce to a Ginzburg-Landau equation and do not appear to have analytic soliton solutions. We use numerical simulations to show that solitar...
متن کاملPolymer-Optical-Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers Doped with Organic Dyes
Polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with organic dyes can be used to make efficient lasers and amplifiers due to the high gains achievable in short distances. This paper analyzes the peculiarities of light amplification in POFs through some experimental data and a computational model capable of carrying out both power and spectral analyses. We investigate the emission spectral shifts and widths...
