چکیده
A 10.5 Tbit/s optical transmission (15 x 100 Gbit/s QPSK channels per core) over 2,520 km of multicore fiber is achieved using an integrated multicore transmission link consisting of directly spliced multicore components such as fan-in/fanout fiber couplers, a 60 km trench-assisted 7-core hexagonal fiber and cladding-pumped erbium-ytterbium-doped fiber amplifiers.

Solid-core photonic bandgap fibers for cladding-pumped Raman amplification.
Cladding-pumped solid-core photonic bandgap Raman fiber amplifiers are analyzed theoretically as possible candidates for power scaling. An example fiber design with a mode field diameter of 46 µm and a cladding diameter of 250 µm is calculated to exhibit 0.12 dB/km of confinement loss at the first Stokes wavelength and >10 dB/m at the second Stokes wavelength for a pump wavelength of 1.567 µm w...

Introduction: Cladding-pumped rare-earth-doped fibers and Raman fiber devices have been two of the most compelling advances in the area of fiber amplifiers and lasers in recent years. Both cladding-pumped fibers and Raman fiber devices are primarily high-power devices. Cladding-pumping enables pumping with multi-mode pump sources that deliver high-power at a low cost. The core of the double-cla...

We present the results of the experimental study and comparison of Yb-free, Erdoped, all-fiber, alignment free, single frequency (SF) fiber amplifiers operating under 980-, 1470and 1530-nm pumping for the coreand clad-pumping architectures. In the single-mode core-pumped configuration Er-doped fiber amplifiers demonstrated 52% and 60% pump to output efficiencies for 980 and 1480 nm pump wavelen...
متن کاملThulium-doped silica-based optical fibers for cladding pumped fiber amplifiers
We present preparation and spectroscopic characterization of the Tm-doped fibers with enhanced 3H4 fluorescence lifetime thanks to codoping with alumina. With the alumina content of 10 mol %, the fluorescence lifetime of 58 s was achieved. Using experimentally obtained fiber characteristics, we used numerical simulations to study and optimize for the first time the thulium-doped fiber amplifie...
متن کاملNew approach to image amplification based on an optically-pumped multi-core optical fiber
This paper describes a new approach to amplify optical images by using optically pumped doped cores in a multi-core optical fiber structure. This approach combines the high gain and high efficiency properties of cladding pumped optical amplifiers with the imaging properties of coherent fiber bundles. The individual cores correspond to the pixels in the image amplifier. We have demonstrated 3x3 ...
