We present simulation and experimental characterization of a hybrid amplifier comprising of a Raman amplifier and an erbium doped fiber (EDF) amplifier, with enhanced performance. The incorporation of a pumped EDF section in a fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) employing a dispersion compensating fiber is demonstrated to provide superior performance than a sole FRA system. The hybrid amplifier is characterized in terms of single channel gain and noise figure, and the results of measurements are shown to be in close agreement with the simulated results. Polarization-dependent gain (PDG) and multi-channel measured and simulated gain characterization of the Raman/EDFA hybrid amplifier are also presented.     

Investigation of Hybrid Optical Amplifiers for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed System with Reduced Spacings at Higher Bit Rates

Abstract

This article proposes various combinations of optical amplifiers for a dense wavelength division multiplexed system and investigates the impact of reduced channel spacing at high bit rates in terms of quality factor, bit error rate, eye closure, and output power. It is reported that the hybrid optical amplifier (Raman–erbium-doped fiber amplifier [EDFA]) provides better results with a maximum covered single span distance (220 km) at channel spacing of 6.25 GHz. The maximum acceptable bit rate for the 12.5-GHz channel spacing dense wavelength division multiplexed system is also investigated, and the recommendation is provided that for the Raman–EDFA, Raman–EDFA–Raman, EDFA–Raman–EDFA, and EDFA–semiconductor optical amplifier–EDFA, the operating bit rate should not be greater than 20, 16, 19, and 20 Gbps, respectively.     

Linear Theory of Free Electron Laser with a Plasma-Loaded Cylindrical Waveguide

The dispersion characteristics of plasma–loaded free-electron laser has been analyzed using linear fluid model. The device under consideration consists of the cylindrical metallic waveguide, completely filled with background plasma and a relativistic electron beam which passes through a helical wiggler magnetic field. The result predicts that reasonable plasma density tends to improve the growth rate of the low-frequency optical wave of FEL and causes an shiftup in the operating frequency, However it has little effect on the growth rate of the high-frequency wave. In the plasma–loaded FEL, for the FEL oscillator, it may be tuned by varying the plasma density; and for the FEL amplifier, the wider frequency bandwidth is gained. A critical density n ^c _p for the background plasma density is found.

An experimental study of the plasma parameters of a hybrid low-pressure RF discharge

This paper presents an experimental study of the plasma parameters of a hybrid radio-frequency (RF) discharge, which is a new modification of an RF discharge. The discharge is maintained by both vortex and potential RF electrical fields. To generate a hybrid RF discharge, an RF power input unit is used in the form of a parallel-connected inductor and capacitor coatings. A blocking capacitor is included in the capacitive channel of the discharge. The paper presents data from the study of the influence of power coupled to the plasma, argon pressure, and blocking capacitance on the plasma parameters, i.e., the electron energy distribution, temperature, and density and plasma potential. The role of the capacitive channel in the variations in properties and the characteristics of the discharge are considered.

Multiple-Output Fiber-Ring Lasers and Amplifiers in a Hybrid CATV and ADSL Broadcasting Optical Fiber Communication System

In this article we propose two kinds of new fiber ring structure with a semiconductor optical amplifier. The first structure is a one-fiber-ring amplifier with an 8 × 8 fiber coupler and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The second fiber ring structure is a two-fiber-ring laser including an 8 × 8 fiber coupler, a 2 × 2 E/O modulator, and an SOA. The 14-output spectra of the fiber laser are measured. The gain coefficients of each port of the multiple-output-fiber-ring amplifiers are also measured. We apply these two kinds of fiber ring structures in a hybrid CATV and ADSL broadcasting optical fiber communication system. This application can develop a broadcasting system with large coverage area without using many laser diodes and optical amplifiers. The performance of such a system is also analyzed in this article.

High gain fiber-solid hybrid double-passing end-pumped Nd:YVO_4 picosecond amplifier with high beam quality

We propose a fiber-solid hybrid system which consists of a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror(SESAM) mode-locked fiber seed with a pulse width of 10.2 ps and a repetition rate of 18.9 MHz, a two-level fiber pre-amplifier and a double-passing end-pumped Nd:YVO_4 amplifier. In the solid-state amplifier, to enhance the gain and the extraction efficiency, a specially designed structure in which the seed light passes through the gain medium four times and makes full use of population inversion is used as the double-passing amplifier. Besides, the beam filling factor(the ratio of the seed light diameter to the pump light diameter) and the thermal lens effect of the double-passing amplifier are considered and its optical-to-optical conversion efficiency is further improved. To preserve the beam quality of the double-passing amplifier, a new method of spherical-aberration self-compensation based on the principles of geometrical optics is used and discussed.Our system achieves a maximum average power of 9.5 W at the pump power of 28 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical efficiency of 27%. And the beam quality factor M~2 reaches 1.3 at the maximum output power.     

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.     

高功率氙灯脉冲放电过程中石英管壁热损伤机理

基于高功率激光装置对脉冲氙灯工程运行可靠性的要求,利用现有的能源模块开展了氙灯放电考核实验。实验结果表明:虽然氙灯运行在安全的能量负载水平,当能源模块单个放电回路的峰值功率超过300MW时,氙灯石英玻璃管壁存在热损伤风险。肉眼观察到管壁损伤后在反射器对侧的灯管内壁出现乳白色沉积层。经扫描电镜和X射线光电子能谱测试分析,证实热损伤形成的乳白色沉积物为二氧化硅。为探究管壁热损伤机制,采用高速摄影观测了氙灯放电等离子体沟道发展过程。图像显示放大器内金属反射器的几何形状对放电沟道的分布产生了显著影响,尤其是在侧灯箱,灯内电弧沟道会靠近反射器一侧集中分布,因此,导致等离子体对灯管的偏烧。当放电峰值功率超过石英热负载极限时,管壁表面二氧化硅材料会被烧蚀至蒸发、气化,并随后沉积在灯管较冷部位。研究结果表明放电回路的放电峰值功率过高、放大器内金属反射器均会对氙灯造成热损伤。     

Peculiarities of electron-beam interaction with waves in partially plasma-filled corrugated waveguide

It is shown when the cross-section of a waveguide is partially filled by magnetized plasma, slow and fast E-waves can exist simultaneously at the same frequency, which is lower than the plasma frequency. In the case of spatially periodic corrugation of the waveguide wall, the waves can be coupled, forming new waves with hybrid properties in a certain frequency range. The interaction of an electron beam with the hybrid waves differs from the interaction with a slow plasma wave in a waveguide with smooth walls or with the wave in an evacuated corrugated waveguide. For example, when two waves traveling in the same direction are coupled, the increments of the hybrid waves have values on the order of but somewhat smaller than those of the increment of a slow plasma wave in a smooth waveguide.Moscow Radio-Engineering Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Chaotic wideband microwave oscillations in a hybrid system consisting of a traveling wave tube and a collector oscillator

A novel hybrid microwave device based on a wideband microwave amplifier, a traveling-wave tube, one component of which is a multistage collector oscillator is proposed and experimentally studied. The collector oscillator can form a virtual cathode via deceleration of electrons that exit from the interaction space of the traveling wave tube. It is shown that this device can generate and amplify centimeter-wave chaotic wideband signals. The characteristics of the chaotic signals (spectral composition and total power) generated in different operating modes of the hybrid device are determined. The issue of amplification of the chaotic wideband signal generated with a virtual cathode in the traveling wave tube amplifier is concisely addressed.     

Controlling dispersion and transmission spectra of hybrid resonant-gas-filled photonic-crystal optical components

Using the model of an infinite one-dimensional periodic layered structure, we consider the possibilities of controlling dispersion properties and transmission spectra of hybrid optical components consisting of photonic band-gap structures filled with a resonant gas. It is shown that the combination of resonance-enhanced gas dispersion with the dispersion of a photonic band-gap structure may give rise to new features in the dispersion and transmission of hybrid spectral elements. These effects can be employed to create narrowband filters and ultrarefractive prisms with controllable parameters.
