  • We have investigated the impact of optical filter bandwidth on the performance of all-optical automatic gain-controlled (AGC) erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). In principle, an optical bandpass filter (OBPF) should be placed within the feedback gain-clamping loop to set the lasing wavelength as well as the passband of the feedback amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) in all-optical AGC EDFA. From our measurement results, we found that the power level of feedback ASE with 0.1 nm passband of the optical filter was smaller than the ones with >0.2 nm passband cases. Therefore, the peak-to-peak power variation of the surviving channel with 0.1 nm passband was much larger than the ones with >0.2 nm passband. In addition, no significant difference in the power level of the feedback ASE was observed when the passband of the optical filter was ranging from 0.2 nm to 4.5 nm in our measurements. From these results, we have concluded that the passband of the optical filter should be slightly larger than 0.2 nm by taking into account the effect of feedback ASE power and the efficient use of the EDFA gain spectrum for the lasing ASE peak.

  • EDFA는 광전송시스템에서 광섬유상에 전파되는 신호가 광섬유의 손실로 인해 약해지게 되는데 미약해진 신호의 광세기를 키워주는 증폭기로서 널리 사용되고 있다. EDFA의 증폭기작을 주요 인자를 가지고 분석함으로써 그 특성을 이해하고 이를 토대로 EDFA 설계시 유용한 기준으로 삼고자 한다. 또한 광전송시스템에서의 EDFA는 자연방출광잡음으로 인해 수신단에서 신호대잡음비를 악화시켜 전송오율을 증가시키게 되는데 이를 억제하기 위한 동작조건 즉 잡음지수의 최소화하는 동작조건에 대해서 논하고자 한다.

  • A long-distance remote sensing of temperature and current based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The thermal expanding effect of the epoxy and the Er-doped fiber ring laser (EFRL) are applied to the sensor system to enhance the temperature and current sensitivity. An EFRL with a 5 km-single-mode fiber and a FBG shows a high extinction ratio of more than 60 dB and a low power fluctuation of less than 1 dB. The metal wires are used to supply the current to the sensors. When the NOA65 puts on the FBG as a thermal expanding material, the temperature and current sensitivity of the lasing wavelength shift are about $30\;pm/^{\circ}C$ and 3pm/mA, respectively. The proposed sensing scheme is useful for measurement of current or temperature at a distant object of more than several km.

  • 본 논문에서는 파장 가변과 동시에 스위칭이 가능한 쌍파장 어븀 첨가 광섬유 레이저를 실험적으로 구현하였다. 희토류 첨가 광섬유를 이득 매질로 사용하고 두 개의 선형 공진기를 중첩하여 파장 스위칭 효과를 구현하였다. 음향광학 변조기로 두 레이저 발진 파장들 사이에 선택적으로 스위칭하는 기능을 가지면서 동시에 광섬유 격자에 인장력 및 수축력을 인가하여 발진 파장을 가변할 수 있는 기능성 쌍파장 광섬유 레이저를 구현하였다. 제안된 파장 가변형 쌍파장 스위칭 레이저는 높은 소광비와 가변성, 넓은 가변 대역폭, 그리고 빠른 안정응답시간 등 이전의 기술에 비해 더 좋은 장점들을 가지고 있다. 파장 스위치를 하는 모든 경우에 대해 40 dB이상의 높은 소광비를 가지는 고성능의 광섬유 레이저를 구현하였다. 제안된 쌍파장 광섬유 레이저의 출력은 안정적이고 출력 변동은 0.6 dB 이하로 측정되었다. 발진 파장의 가변성 변화는 ~7.2 nm/$m^{-1}$로 측정되었다.

  • The erbium doped fibre ring laser (EDFL) is modelled using the standard propagation and rate equations of a homogeneous, two-level gain medium. The EDFL numerical simulations provide comparable results with the experimental data. The process of lasing mode competition and mode selection is clearly depicted and explained.

  • 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.

  • This paper presents a study on heat transfer and residual distortion analysis of laser welded EDFA(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier) LD(Laser Diode) Pump using the finite element method. In the production process of LD Pump in light-wave communication system, ferrule and saddle are welded by Nd-YAG laser. These parts experience thermal and mechanical effect during heating and cooling cycle with the laser welding. Thus distortion happens in the laser-welded packaging, and it makes an error in detecting the light signal translate through optical fiber in LD Pump. The amount of final displacement produced by the laser welding is predicted using the finite element method. And the optimal shape of saddle is proposed with the results of numerical analyses to minimize the displacement.

  • 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.

  • We present an all-fiberized power-scalable, sub-nanosecond mode-locked laser based on a frequency-shifted-feedback ring cavity comprised of an erbium-doped fiber, a downshifting acousto-optic modulator (AOM), and a bandpass filter (BPF). With the aid of the frequency-shifted feedback mechanism provided by the AOM and the narrow filter bandwidth of 0.45 nm, we generate self-starting, mode-locked optical pulses with a spectral bandwidth of ~0.098 nm and a pulsewidth of 432 to 536 ps. In particular, the output power is readily scalable with pump power while keeping the temporal shape and spectral bandwidth. This is obtained via the consolidation of bound pulse modes circulating at the fundamental repetition rate of the cavity. In fact, the consolidated pulses form a single-entity envelope of asymmetric Gaussian shape where no discrete internal pulses are perceived. This result highlights that the inclusion of the narrow BPF into the cavity is crucial to achieving the consolidated pulses.
