The impact of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on the gain recovery time of a bulk semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is investigated. The gain-recovery time is obtained by determining the time evolution of the gain, carrier density, and ASE in an SOA, after the propagation of a short pump pulse and continuous-wave (CW) probe of gain dynamics. In the simulation, a wide-band-semiconductor model, which can be characterized by the material gain coefficient over a wide wavelength range, is used, because the gain bandwidth of a practical SOA is very wide. The pump pulse and counterpropagating CW probe field are considered in the simulation, with the ASE noise spectrum equally divided.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the all-optical multihop radio over a free space optical (RoFSO) communication system with amplify-and-forward (AF) relays under varying weather conditions. The proposed channel model considers the propagation loss, attenuation and atmospheric fading modeled by the Gamma-Gamma (GG) distribution. Both the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise in the all-optical relays and the background noise projected onto receiver apertures have been considered in the analysis. The lower bound analytical expressions for the end-to-end bit error rate (BER) and outage probability are derived for the multihop system employing the all-optical relays with the full channel state information (CSI). Meanwhile, the exact results for BER and outage probability are obtained via Monte Carlo simulation. Results indicate the performance of the proposed system will be improved by the multihop transmission technology. For a fixed number of relays, the BER and outage probability will be increased with the deterioration of the weather conditions.

In this study, the use of a continuous-wave (CW) supercontinuum (SC) seeded by an erbium-doped fiber's amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) for optical-coherence tomography imaging is experimentally demonstrated. It was shown, by taking an in-depth image of a human tooth sample, that due to the smooth, flat spectrum and long-term stability of the proposed CW SC, it can be readily applied to the spectral-domain optical-coherence tomography system. The relative-intensity noise level and spectral bandwidth of the CW SC are also experimentally analyzed as a function of the ASE beam power.

본 논문은 기존 표준 단일모드 광섬유 링크를 통하여 초고속 광신호의 장거리 전송이 가능하도록 분산보상 광섬유를 이용한 최적 분산보상 기법에 기반을 둔 전송링크 설계 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서는 광섬유의 비선형성에서 비롯되는 자기위상변조(Self-Phase Modulation: SPM)와 광증폭기에서 발생하는 증폭자연방출(Amplified Spontaneous Emission : ASE) 잡음에 대하여 증폭기간 거리와 중계기간 거리를 최적화함으로써 전송신호 속도에 따른 최대 전송거리를 제시하였다. 또한 주어진 증폭기간 거리와 중계기간 거리에 대하여 ASE 잡음과 SPM의 효과의 균형적 관계로부터 최적의 입력 신호전력의 범위가 있음을 제시하였다.

Experimental demonstration of bipolar spectral encoding code-division multiple-access with modified pseudorandom noise codes is presented. Bipolar spectral encoding is achieved with an erbium-doped fiber amplifier amplified spontaneous emission source and arrayed waveguide gratings. The bit-error rate performance of 1.25 Gbps signal transmission over 80 km single mode fiber is measured in a multiple-user environment.

A low noise erbium doped fiber amplifier for optical preamplification has been demonstrated. The amplifier incoporates an optical isolator in its midway to prevent decrease of population inversion at the input port due to backward traveling amplified spontaneous emission. Then, high gain and low noise can be achieved simultaneously. A small signal gain of 34dB and a noise figure of 5.5dB have been achieved. With this amplifier, we obtained a receiver sensitivity of -39.7dBm with back to back configuration and -39.3dBm with 47km normal fiber for 10$^{-9}$BER at 2.5Gbps direct modulated optical signal.

Performances of spectrum-sliced channels are strongly affected by their relative intensity noise (RIN). We use polarization-independent optical modulators (PIOMs) for spectrum-sliced channels to suppress their RIN. The PIOM driven by a high sinusoidal voltage signal evenly redistributes optical frequency components in the spectral domain and reduces the RIN. It can be used at a broadband light source (BLS) output to produce spectrum-sliced channels having lower RIN values. Also, it can be used for each spectrum-sliced channel within each optical network unit (ONU). In our experiment, where 12.5-GHz-spaced spectrum-sliced channels are used in 1-GbE speed, the use of PIOM at the BLS output reduces the bit error rate (BER) of the spectrum-sliced channel by more than an order of magnitude. The use of PIOM within the ONU reduces the BER by approximately 3 orders of magnitude.

We investigate effects of the injected ASE (Amplified spontaneous emission) bandwidth on the performance of the wavelength-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (F-P LDs) under constant injection power density and constant injection power. For the constant injection power density, we can determine the minimum injection bandwidth by the required intensity noise or the bit-error rate (BER) performance. On the other hand, there exists the optimal ASE bandwidth for the constant injection power to minimize the intensity noise.

A large incoherent crosstalk (IC) caused by amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power from Tx-disabled optical network units and a differential path loss has been shown to degrade upstream transmission performance in time-division multiplexing passive optical networks. This paper considers the IC-induced power penalty of an upstream signal both in an XG-PON and in a TWDM-PON. We investigate the degradation of the extinction ratio and relative intensity noise through a simulation and experiments. For the XG-PON case, we observe a 9.6 dB difference in the level of ASE noise power from Tx-disabled ONUs (hereafter known simply as ASE noise) between our result and the ITU-T XG-PON PMD recommendation. We propose an optical filtering method to mitigate an IC-induced power penalty. In the TWDM-PON case, the IC-induced power penalty is naturally negligible because the ASE noise is filtered by a wavelength multiplexer at the optical line terminal. The results provide design guidelines for the level of ASE noise in both XG-PONs and TWDM-PONs.

32 채널 이상의 파장다중화 광신호 전송에서 이득포화 광신호 사용법이 적용되었고, 이 이득 포화 광신호의 세 가지 다른 적용 방법들이 비교되었다. 이 세 가지 방법은 고출력 DFB LD 들만을 사용하는 경우, 광증폭기로 증폭된 입력광원들을 사용하는 경우, 그리고 하나의 이득포화 광원과 소수의 파장다중화 광원들을 사용하는 경우들이다. 하나의 포화 광원을 이용한 경우는 다시 이 광원의 파장 의존성을 확인하기 위해 1532.3 nm, 1545.7 nm, 그리고 1558.2 nm의 세 가지 경우가 비교되었다. 그 결과 입력광원이 증폭기로 증폭되더라도 ASE에 의한 잡음은 영향이 미미하였음을 확인하였고, 포화 광원의 파장위치는 장파장인 경우 이득이 1 dB 이상 감소하였으며 그 원인이 분석되었다.
