Amplification enhancement of L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifiers by reflection scheme

A reflection L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), which can effectively suppress and completely exploit the backward C-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) with a feedback reflection loop, is presented in this paper. The mechanism of the backward ASE secondary pumping effect is experimentally investigated in detail. Our experimental results have shown that, for a given input pump power, compared to the end-pumped EDFA, the gain and output power of the reflection EDFA can be improved considerably without paying much noise penalty. When the EDFA operates with flattened gain spectra, the gain is improved by about 7 dB with an extra noise penalty of about 1.2 dB, where the saturation output power is increased by 2.5–3.2 dB and which may also be made independent of the input signal power.     

A time-dependent ASE calculation for transient gain enhancement. of picosecond pulses in a large-aperture KrF laser amplifier

In a large-aperture KrF laser amplifier, steady-state gain is heavily reduced by intra-cavity amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). However, the reduced gain can be transiently enhanced by temporally suppressing the ASE with an intense depleting short pulse. Previously, we reported the experimental observation of this transient gain enhancement and numerical calculations to explain the experimental results. However, a discrepancy was noticed between the experimental results and the calculated values, which was due to the neglect of the propagation time of laterally traveling ASE. In this paper, we present a novel time-dependent ASE code incorporating the lateral-ASE transit time and report the calculation results using the developed ASE code. The calculated values agreed with the experimental results. Received: 8 March 2000 / Published online: 5 April 2000     

小信号脉冲抽运时掺铒光纤自发辐射的研究

自发辐射(ASE)是掺铒光纤放大器(EDFA)的重要噪声源,对于由EDFA构成的光纤激光器有重要影响。理论与实践证明,它与抽运方式紧密相关,所以研究脉冲抽运时掺铒光纤(EDF)的自发辐射有重要的学术价值。同时,脉冲抽运对于EDFA锁模激光器的研究也有一定意义。从理论和实验两方面研究了小信号脉冲抽运时,抽运脉冲宽度和幅度对于EDF的自发辐射特性的影响,得到了小信号抽运时输出ASE噪声平均值的近似解析解。研究发现,小信号脉冲抽运时输出信号的幅度与抽运脉冲的宽度成正比。这个新现象可用于脉冲宽度的全光检测。     

Fully conductively cooled, diode-pumped Ho:Tm:LuLiF4 laser oscillator/amplifier

A fully conductively cooled and diode-pumped linear Ho:Tm:LuLiF laser oscillator can generate more than 1 J normal mode pulses at a 10 Hz pulse repetition rate where heat pipes are used for cooling pump diodes and laser crystal. As an amplifier, it can amplify the 80 mJ/180 ns pulses into 400 mJ pulses before the appearance of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). The ASE threshold is about 5.6 J with a 40 mm long and side-polished laser crystal. For a 5 mJ input pulse and 5.6 J pump pulse, the double-pass gain exceeds 22.5. If the lateral surface of the laser crystal is fine ground, the ASE threshold can rise to higher than 8 J, but the efficiency will be lower due to large pump diffusion.

Investigation of optimum pulse shape for 112 Gbps DP-DQPSK in DWDM transmission

This paper reports the simulative analyses to investigate the impact of different pulse shapes on DP-DQPSK modulation for high-spectral efficient DWDM transmission at 112 Gbps per channel. In the simulation model we have considered three different pulse shapes viz. NRZ, 50% duty cycle RZ (RZ50) and 67% duty cycle RZ (RZ67) in symbol-aligned and symbol-interleaved format. The analysis has been carried out for various linear and nonlinear system impairments where the pulse is subjected to degradation under the influence of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise, group velocity dispersion (GVD), cross-phase modulation (XPM) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and thus, limiting the system performance. Results show that the RZ50 pulse shape for DP-DQPSK with symbol interleaving shows the maximum tolerance for the various system degradations in long haul DWDM transmission. Even the system based on the NRZ pulse shape can gain significant improvement from the symbol-interleaving.     

Amplified spontaneous emission in short-pulse excimer amplifiers

We have found a simple analytical expression which describes the relation between amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and small-signal gain in short-pulse amplifiers. It is also shown that the contrast of the short pulse to the ASE is weakly dependent on the saturation of the ASE, and influenced mainly by the saturation of the short pulse. The theoretical considerations were verified by measurements.     

Simultaneous generation of a proton beam and terahertz radiation in high-intensity laser and thin-foil interaction

We have observed simultaneously both the fast proton generation and terahertz (THz) radiation in the laser pulse interaction with a 5-μm thick titanium target. In order to control the proton acceleration and THz radiation, we have changed the duration of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) preceding the main pulse generated by the high-intensity Ti:sapphire laser. A fast proton beam with the maximal energy of ∼ 490 keV has been realized by reducing the duration of the ASE. Simultaneously, an intense emission of THz radiation is observed for various ASE durations. We propose the antenna mechanism for the THz radiation, according to which the fast electrons moving along the target surface emit the low-frequency electromagnetic wave.
