Abstract: | In this paper we will present an overview of the use
of photonic crystal fibers as fiber amplifiers. We
will describe the basic concepts of optical
amplification, and how to do numerical modelling of
such components. We will then identify advantages
and disadvantages of amplifiers based on PCF
technology compared to conventional fibers, and then
go into greater detail on some of these specific
applications, such as low pump power amplifiers, and
high-power double-clad amplifiers and lasers. |
