The influence of erbium doped fiber length, input signal power, pump style and pump power on the gain characteristics of Bi EDFA is analyzed. Forward and backward noise figure for different pump style versus bidirectional input signal power is investigated.展开更多

To improve the pump efficiency, the power of the pump is split into two parts (with a ratio of e.g. 2:7). The characteristics of this L-band EDFA are studied on the basis of the Giles Model with ASE.展开更多

Transmissions of 10-Gb/s non return-to-zero signals using a 1.2- GHz RSOA and FBG optical equaliser with different setups are demonstrated. Significant performance improvement and 40-kin standard single mode fibre transmission are achieved using FBG optical equaliser and Remotely Pum- ped Erbium-Doped Fibre Amplifier （RP-EDFA）, where they are used to equalise the output of the band-limited RSOA and amplify the seed light and upstream signal, respectively.展开更多

Effects of Ce2O3 content on the 1.53 μm band fluorescence spectra and fluorescence lifetime of Er3＋ are measured and investigated. It is found that the tellurite glass containing Ce203 with molar concentration of 0.25% exhibits an increment of 13% in 1.53 μm fluorescence intensity and an increment of 15% in the 4I13/2 level lifetime. The results indicate that the prepared tellurite-based glass with a suitable Er3＋/Ce3＋ codoping concentration is an excellent gain medium applied for broadband Er3＋-doped fiber amplifier （EDFA） pumped with a 980 nm laser diode.展开更多

The absorption spectra, up-conversion spectra and 1.53 μm band fluorescence spectra of glass samples were measured. It is shown that the 1.53 μm band fluorescence emission intensity of Er3+-doped tellurite glass fiber is improved obviously with the introduction of an appropriate amount of Ce3+, which is attributed to the energy transfer(ET) from Er3+ to Ce3+. Meanwhile, the 1.53 μm band optical signal amplification is simulated based on the rate and power propagation equations, and an increment in signal gain of about 2.4 d B at 1 532 nm in the Er3+/Ce3+ co-doped tellurite glass fiber is found. The maximum signal gain reaches 29.3 d B on a 50 cm-long fiber pumped at 980 nm with power of 100 m W. The results indicate that the prepared Er3+/Ce3+ co-doped tellurite glass is a good gain medium applied for 1.53 μm broadband and high-gain EDFA.展开更多
