Tunable multi-wavelength fiber ring laser based on a Hi-Bi fiber loop mirror

A novel tunable multi-wavelength fiber ring laser based on semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is proposed by using a high-birefringence (Hi-Bi) fiber loop mirror (FLM) as wavelength filter. With this configuration, the wavelength spacing of this laser can be varied by using the different lengths of Hi-Bi fiber. 8 wavelengths spacing on 450 GHz are experimentally obtained with more than 25-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for each channel using 1.28-m Hi-Bi fiber in Hi-Bi FLM. The output power variation between different channels is measured to be less than 5.9 dB. The linewidth of each channel is compressed from 0.347 to 0.186 nm by 1.5-m unpumped erbium-doped fiber (EDF). Meanwhile, 17 wavelengths spacing on ITU-gird (100 GHz) are also obtained with 5.9-m Hi-Bi fiber in Hi-Bi FLM. All these channels can be tuned together over 0.4 nm.

High gain low noise L-band preamplifier with cascade double-pass structure

An optimized two-stage-cascade double-pass structure L-band preamplifier was proposed and experimentally studied to overcome the shortcomings of low gain coefficient and high noise figure of L-band erbiumdoped fiber amplifier (EDFA). The fiber lengthes of 6.5 and 32.5 m, pump powers of 130 and 119 mW for the first and second stages respectively are used in the experiment. When input signal power is-30 dBm, the amplifier can provide gain above 38.84 dB in a wavelength range of 34 nm (1568-1602 nm), gain ripple less than 2.04 dB (40.88-38.84 dB), and noise figures lower than 5.29 dB with the lowest value of 3.95 dB at 1590 nm. Experimental and simulation results show that this low cost and high pump efficiency amplifier is suitable for the application as an L-band preamplifier in the broadband fiber communication system.

双波长全光自动增益箝制掺铒光纤放大器的实验研究

提出了结构简单的光纤布喇格光栅（FBG）双波长全光自动增益箝制方案，并进行了相关实验.结果表明，在三种不同的箝制波长组合1535.64nm+1562.68nm、1530.48nm+1562.68nm、1530.48 nm+1551.36 nm条件下，1540 nm信号的输出增益大小和输入信号功率动态范围几乎一致.对应此三种箝制波长组合，环路内的损耗分别为：14.7 dB、15 dB、15 dB.由此证明，在相同泵浦条件和环路损耗条件下，此三种不同箝制波长组合具有近似相同的箝制效果.而1551.36 nm+1562.68 nm箝制波长组合得到的结果相差甚远.此结果说明，在设计双波长全光自动增益箝制掺铒光纤放大器（OAGC-EDFA）时，为了取得足够大的信号增益，两箝制波长的波长间隔应尽量较大.
