A novel control method for on-off gain and gain tilt of fiber Raman amplifiers

Considering spectrum tilt due to signal-to-signal Raman scattering (SSRS) in backward distributed fiber Raman amplifiers (B-DFRA), an inverse tilted on-off gain profile is adopted to achieve flat net gain. A simple approximate linear relationship of pump power at each wavelength versus on-off gain level and tilt was derived numerically and experimentally so that a novel control method was established. Since there are only 3 pre-determinable constants required for individual pump wave, it is easy to be realized. As an example, maximum errors less than 0.2 and 0.4 dB respectively for average gain and gain tilt were achieved over C+L band in 100-km back-pumped standard single-mode fiber (SMF) experimentally.     

Design of multi-channel optical code-division multiple-access encoders and decoders based on sampled fiber Bragg gratings

An encoding/decoding scheme of multi-channel optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system using sampled fiber Bragg gratings (SFBGs) is proposed and numerically investigated. A multiple-phase-shift (MPS) technique based SFBG is first developed as a dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) device to accommodated multiple channels. The OCDMA scheme is achieved through phase coding/encoding on each individual channel of the SFBG and the auto correlative ratio for each user is larger than 14.3 dB. The whole system exhibits enhanced performance in terms of the capacity and security since the OCDMA technique is simultaneously implemented for all channels using the single SFBG.

Gain ripple minimization in fiber Raman amplifiers based on variational method

In this paper, the variational method is employed for minimizing the gain ripple of multi-wavelength fiber Raman amplifiers. The variance of gain spectrum of the fiber Raman amplifier is regarded as the cost function, restriction on total pump power and average gain is given as the constraints of the minimization problem. It is shown that the minimization problem with any necessary constraints on the pump powers, average gain and signal to noise ratio, is reduced to a two-point boundary value problem. The method gives the entire possible local and global solutions. The method is applied to different examples of fiber Raman amplifiers with different lengths from 25 km to 100 km and different numbers of pumps from 4 to 20 to determine the pump powers and wavelengths for minimum gain ripple. It was obtained for a 100 km fiber Raman amplifier the gain ripple can be about 0.1 dB with on-off gain more than 20 dB.

Performance Evaluation and Characterization of Hybrid Optical Amplifiers for Dwdm Systems at Ultra Narrow Channel Spacing

We study hybrid optical amplifiers (HOAs) for dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) systems at reduced channel spacing (<0.2 nm). The Raman erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) (R-E) and EDFA-semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) (E-S) hybrid optical amplifiers (HOAs) are investigated for the first time at 0.05 and 0.1 nm of the channel spacing. We show that the R-E HOA provides better gain (23.9 dB) and induces lesser crosstalk (-14.1 dB) with minimum utilization of the bandwidth. We report that 70 km is the optimum span distance at which the R-E HOA achieves a 2450 km transmission distance with acceptable performance. The theoretical results are found to be in accordance with numerical simulations in terms of the amplifier gain and induced crosstalk.     

Flat gain spectrum design of Raman fiber amplifiers based on particle swarm optimization and average power analysis technique

In this work, the modified particle swarm optimization is used as an optimization tool to determine the set of wavelengths and power levels of pumps that delivers a flat gain spectrum for Raman fiber amplifiers. The average power analysis technique is used as a numerical method to solve the coupled Raman amplifier equations. By combining the modified particle swarm optimization and average power analysis technique an efficient algorithm for the design of flat-gain-spectrum broadband Raman fiber amplifiers is constructed. Application of this algorithm to the design of flat-gain-spectrum broadband Raman fiber amplifiers shows that the design efficiency of the new method is improved by 1-2 orders of magnitude compared with similar implementations previously reported in the literature. A 4-backward-pump gain-flattened Raman amplifier with bandwidth of 100-nm and maximum gain ripple of <1.0 dB is designed to demonstrate the technique.     

General and effective dynamic gain spectrum control of broadband raman amplifiers with multi-wavelength pumping

An effective feedback algorithm is proposed to dynamically control the gain spectra of multi-wavelength pumped broadband Raman amplifiers. Based on Raman coupling power equations, a simple saturation factor is introduced to achieve the adjusting matrix. By using this method, efficient pump adjustment can be carried out to accomplish wide-range dynamic gain spectrum control (larger than 22 dB dynamic range) as well as automatic gain clamping even for 90 nm bandwidth, highly-saturated RAs. Moreover, this algorithm can be well applied to different fiber types as well as pumping schemes. Some useful guidelines are also demonstrated.

Optimization of Raman gain spectrum using Lagrangian multiplier method

Based on Lagrangian multiplier method (LMM), the gain spectrum of distributed multi-pump Raman amplifier (DMRA) is optimized. Beside of governing rate equations in Raman amplifiers, we consider two applicable constrains on cost function for optimizing the gain spectrum. Because of more accurate and controllable designing of DMRAs, a maximum power for each input pump wave is considered as well as average gain value as two constrains. LMM reduces the optimization problem with constrains to solve a two-point boundary value problem for each solution. This method is applied to minimizing gain ripple of full bandwidth (60 nm) a 100 Km Raman amplifier for different number of pumps.

Improvement on peak-to-trough ratio of sampled fiber Bragg gratings with multiple phase shifts

Via a cascaded structure, the peak-to-trough ratio is considerably improved for sampled fiber Bragg gratings （SFBGs） based on multiple-phase-shift （MPS） technique. This cascaded filter is composed of two identical SFBGs which are inserted with the increasing or decreasing arrangement of phase shifts. With this inverse arrangement of MPS in grating design, the phase fluctuation of individual SFBG can be compensated, and as a result an excellent phase matching condition is realized. In this way, the peak-to- trough ratio in reflection spectra is improved from 6 to 12 dB when multiplication factor m = 4, and from 5dBto 10dBwhenm=8.
