Theoretical Optimum Designation of Distributed Raman Amplifiers in Different Media

چکیده
Raman Amplifiers (RAs) are a group of amplifiers which have various applications in optical communications. Data transmission media utilized for RAs are optical fibers operating in nonlinear regime. We present the performances and characteristics of RAs by utilizing a set of coupled differential equations and numerical simulations. Two types of fibers with different gain characteristics, germanium-doped and silica fibers are used in our numerical simulations. So, the optimum initial values of the pump powers for a system with 10 pumps are recalculated and optimized again. We did our simulation to have a flat gain and low noise characteristics. Another aspect of the fiber media is their effective areas and we studied the effects of this parameter on the net gain of the RAs. Finally, the noise figure computations are discussed for our 10 pumps bidirectional amplifier which is optimized.

Hybrid systems combining distributed Raman amplification and phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs) are investigated in numerical simulations. We focus on the mitigation of fiber nonlinearities and the impact of the span power map which is also important in systems employing optical phase conjugation or phase-conjugated twin waves. We simulate multi-span PSA links with and without distributed Raman ...

To combine the benefits and compensate for the drawbacks of different optical amplifier types, a hybrid amplifier can be composed. The authors consider two most frequently used hybrid amplifiers that can provide better performance: a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), both in combination with a distributed Raman amplifier (DRA). To compare perform...
متن کاملImpairments in GainEqualized Distributed Fiber Raman Amplifiers due to FourWave Mixing and Parametric Amplification Processes
In this work, by means of numerical simulations, we verify that four-wave mixing (FWM) processes, including depletion and parametric gain, generate a redistribution of pump power in distributed fiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs). As a consequence of pump-pump FWM, FWM products are generated, as well as a power exchange between pumps, which produces degradation in the performance of the amplifier du...
