Multiwavelength C+L band laser source using Linear Optical Amplifier
نویسندگان
چکیده
A scheme for generating multiwavelength laser source based on a linear optical amplifier (LOA) is demonstrated for potential applications in dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) communication systems. The laser output shows up to 80 laser lines (SNR at least 20 dB) with 0.4 nm channel spacing covering C and L band. Simultaneous tuning of muti-wavelengths is also demonstrated.

متن کاملDistributed optical fibre sensing at 1.65μm using a Q-switched fibre laser
It is becoming increasingly vital to monitor telecommunication links during operation and installation process. By using a high peak power source and the optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) technique operating at the wavelength region of 1.6μm, it is possible to monitor conventional C-band Erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) systems whilst transmitting data, and to characterise losses at t...

In this paper we described a structure of an original multiwavelength optical fiber source for DWDM systems. In order to obtain a several dozen of optical carriers with highly stable channel spacing of 4.5GHz a single laser source and acousto optic frequency shifter were used. Results of the analysis of the structure properties were presented. Key-Words: DWDM, EDFA, multiwavelength
متن کاملControllable Wavelength Channels for Multiwavelength Brillouin Bismuth/erbium Bas-ed Fiber Laser
We propose and demonstrate a Multiwavelength Brillouin Bismuth/Erbium Fibre Laser (MBBEFL) with the ability to control the number of wavelength channels generated. A multi-wavelength comb output is obtained using a 7.7 km DCF as a non linear gain medium to generate Stokes wavelengths through the process of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS). The DCF is pumped by a Raman pump source at 400 mW...
متن کاملQuantum noise in a continuous-wave laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG linear optical amplifier.
We present measurements of the power noise that is due to optical amplification in a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG free-space traveling-wave linear amplifier in a master-oscillator-power-amplifier configuration. The quantum noise behavior of the optical amplifier was demonstrated by use of InGaAs photodetectors in a balanced detection configuration, at a total photocurrent of 100 mA and in a freque...
