Spectrally Resolved Approach for Modeling Short Pulse Amplification in Er-Doped Fibers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study pulse propagation in Er-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) within the framework of a spectrally resolved pulse rate-propagation equations model. Our model accounts for the effects of gain dispersion, gain saturation, waveguide and chromatic dispersion, and amplified spontaneous emission. This model allows us to approximate the effects of nonlinear resonant dispersion on short pulse amplification in doped fibers, without reverting to the generalized nonlinear Schroedinger equation. Numerical results of the time-dependent power spectrum of the amplified pulse demonstrate subpicosecond pulse propagation in EDFAs.

Self-similar evolution in a short fiber amplifier through nonlinear pulse preshaping.
We report on a nonlinear preshaper that optimizes initial pulses for self-similar evolution in a next fiber amplifier. It consists of a pair of gratings and a segment of single-mode fiber (SMF). The grating pair provides negative chirp to make the pulses preshaped temporally and spectrally in the SMF. With this optimization, the self-similar amplification can be realized in a 2.2 m Yb-doped fib...

We present a totally fiber integrated chirped-pulse amplification system using air-core photonic bandgap fiber and a conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifier. ~40-ps input pulses, generated in a Mach-Zehnder modulator, were stretched and spectrally broadened in a dispersion-shifted fiber before being amplified and subsequently compressed in 10 m of anomalously-dispersive photonic bandgap fiber...

In this paper, we suggest a novel model, based on input pump power and wave guidestructure, to calculate the Er-density profile in Erbium doped fiber amplifiers. This optimization is carried out for both SMF and DSF fibers. These optimized profiles have a Gaussian-like shape. Using the SMF optimized Er-density profile, high gain enhancement is obtained in a relatively short length of fibers. ...

We report on the study of direct amplification of femtosecond pulses in an 80 mum core diameter microstructured Yb-doped rod-type fiber amplifier in the nonlinear regime. The system includes a compact single grating compressor for the compensation of the small dispersion in the amplifier. With a 1250 line/mm (l/mm) grating-based compressor, pulses as short as 49 fs with 870 nJ pulse energy and ...
