Abstract
C-band pumping effect appears in L-band EDFA because the absorption in C-band occurs dominant under the condition of such a low average population inversion. In this paper, we show how the C-band pumping effect depends on 980nm pump power, the C-band wavelength, and its input power. The C-band pumping is caused by absorbing C-band injection or backward spontaneous emission power through EDF. If the same small signal condition is given by a C-band pump, the C-band pump of a long wavelength is good for the saturation and noise characteristics of L-band signal. Finally, it is considered that in the aspect of saturation characteristics, C-band compensation is not so much efficient as L-band in Gain-Clamped L-band EDFA having a lossy resonator.
