Analyze EDFA Fiber Amplifier

-
EDFA fiber amplifier, also known as erbium-doped fiber amplifier, is a major breakthrough in fiber-optic communication technology because it can directly amplify weak optical signals without undergoing optical-electrical-to-optical conversion. Besides, what do you know about EDFA fiber amplifiers? Many people may answer "No". It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. This article will analyze EDFA fiber amplifiers in the following aspects to let you know more about it.
Why use an EDFA fiber amplifier?
There are many different bands in the transmission process, such as C-band (1530nm-1560nm) and L-band (1560nm-1600nm). Because different wavelengths are different, communication will be affected, so it is necessary to amplify the cross-section of the fiber link. The band channel can guarantee normal communication effects.
The EDFA fiber amplifier just meets this need by using a residual fiber as a gain medium to amplify the optical signal and amplify a wide range of wavelengths (1500nm-1600nm), which is sufficient to amplify the data rate with the highest data rate. This feature can play a large role in the WDM multi-channel optical transmission system, and thus become an indispensable part of the WDM system.



EDFA fiber amplifier advantages:
In addition to the above-mentioned optical-electrical-to-optical signal conversion process, the EDFA fiber amplifier has several advantages:
The gain of the EDFA fiber amplifier is high. The gain value of a fiber amplifier is one of the important parameters. A better fiber amplifier can achieve a gain of 33 dB, while an EDFA fiber amplifier has a gain of about 30 to 40 dB and a higher gain.
The EDFA fiber amplifier has a small noise figure. The EDFA fiber amplifier can spontaneously radiate noise, so its noise figure is smaller than the average, generally 4~7dB.
The bandwidth of the EDFA fiber amplifier. The EDFA fiber amplifier has a bandwidth of 20 to 40 nm at a wavelength of 1550 nm, enabling multi-channel transmission and increasing transmission capacity.
The loss of the EDFA fiber amplifier is low. The operating wavelength of the EDFA fiber amplifier is just the optimal band for fiber communication (1500~1600nm). This band belongs to the lowest loss region, so the loss of the EDFA fiber amplifier is low and the transmission distance is long.
EDFA fiber amplifier applications:
1. Fiber optic cabling system
2. FTTX, FTTH
3. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Optical Communication Network
4. Video optical transmission system and CATV
5. Analog & Digital CATV Optical Signal Long Distance Transmission

Fiber-laser in-band pumping enables novel 2 µm high-power short-pulse laser

Highly efficient high-power short-pulse lasers in the 2 µm wavelength range based on thulium (Tm3+)-doped materials have a variety of applications that include materials processing (such as polymer-to-metal joining), lidar, mid-infrared optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) that produce wavelengths up to 12 μm, and mid-IR supercontinuum generation. They also would enable direct coherent soft x-ray generation via high-order harmonic generation (HHG). For these applications, a light source with much higher conversion efficiency, average power, pulse energy, and shorter pulse duration is desirable. Now, Masaki Tokurakawa and colleagues at the Institute for Laser Science, University of Electro-Communications (UEC; Tokyo, Japan) have developed novel 2 µm high-power short-pulse lasers based on new technique of fiber-laser in-band pumping at 1611 nm and Kerr-lens mode locking with a new Tm-doped gain medium provided from the University of Hamburg by researcher Christian Kränkel.1, 2
