متن کاملExperimental Validation of a Black Box Model for L-band Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers
We experimentally validate a black box model for long-wavelength erbium doped fiber amplifiers. The agreement between the model and the experiments is closer than in the case of conventionalwavelength erbium amplifiers. Introduction Several models have been proposed to predict gain spectral changes of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA) under different saturation conditions [1-3]. Most of thes...
متن کاملDesign of a flat field fiber with very small dispersion slope
We have given designs of a small dispersion fiber with large effective area and small dispersion slope. The fiber has flat modal field over the central part of the core, which provides large mode field diameter (8.3 um at Λ0 = 1550 nm) leading to the relatively large effective area (Aeff = 56.1 um ) required to reduce nonlinear effects. The total dispersion of the proposed fiber is in the range...
متن کاملTowards the short - wavelength limit lasing at 1450 nm over 4 I 13 / 2 → 4 I 15 / 2 transition in silica - based erbium - doped fiber Nan
The transition rate of the stimulated emission at the higher energy levels of the excited states in a silica-based erbium-doped fiber can be enhanced by introducing fundamental-mode cutoff filtering mechanism. The electrons excited by optical pumping can more occupy the higher energy levels of the excited states when the transition rate for the lower energy levels (longer wavelengths) of the ex...
