Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) have saturated the technological market but are still widely used in high-speed and long-distance communication systems. To overcome EDFA saturation and limitations, its erbium-doped fiber is co-doped with other materials such as zirconia and bismuth. This article demonstrates and compares the performance using three different fibers as the gain medium for zirconia-erbium-doped fibers (Zr-EDF), bismuth-erbium-doped fibers (Bi-EDF), and commercial silica-erbium-doped fibers (Si- EDF). The optical amplifier was configured with a double-pass amplification system, with a broadband mirror at the end of its configuration to allow double-pass operation in the system. The important parameters in amplifiers such as optical properties, optical amplification and noise values were also examined and discussed. All three fibers were 0.5 m long and entered with different input signals: 30 dBm for low input and 10 dBm for high input. Zr-EDF turned out to be the most relevant optical amplifier as it had the highest optical gain, longest transmission distance, highest average flatness gain with minimal jitter, and relevant noise figures suitable for the latest communication technology.

This paper is to develop an optical ruer displacement sensor for monitoring high speed spindle. Proper magnitude of optical power as well as amplification of output signal are necessary to improve sensitivity of the sensor. In this paper, to meet the need of improvement of the sensor resolution, we choose proper optical power and amplification level through speculating on optical power of a laser diode.

The optical fibers are an interesting medium for effective tunable optical frequency conversion in the spectral range of UV, Visible, and near-IR through the nonlinear processes. A number of papers for developing the wideband and flat-gain amplifier for the WDM system applications through the combination of EDFA or thulium-doped fluoride fiber amplifier and Raman amplifier, are reported$^{(1)}$ . Even though a variety of papers related to Raman amplifications are published, the amplification with the feedback of the residual pump is not investigated yet. Accordingly, in this paper, we report the characteristics of forward Raman amplification by the simple and double-pass fiber Raman configuration through the feedback of residual pump beam. (omitted)

This paper describes our design of a hybrid amplifier composed of a distributed Raman amplifier and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for C- and L-bands. We characterize the distributed Raman amplifier by numerical simulation based on the experimentally measured Raman gain coefficient of an ordinary single mode fiber transmission line. In single channel amplification, the crosstalk caused by double Rayleigh scattering was independent of signal input power and simply given as a function of the Raman gain. The double Rayleigh scattering induced power penalty was less than 0.1 dB after 1000 km if the on-off Raman gain was below 21 dB. For multiple channel amplification, using commercially available pump laser diodes and fiber components, we determined and optimized the conditions of three-wavelength Raman pumping for an amplification bandwidth of 32 nm for C-band and 34 nm for L-band. After analyzing the conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifier analysis in C-band, we estimated the performance of the hybrid amplifier for long haul optical transmission. Compared with erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, the optical signal-to-noise ratio was calculated to be higher by more than 3 dB in the optical link using the designed hybrid amplifier.

A regenerative Er-doped fiber amplifier system for a high-repetition-rate optical pulse train is investigated for the first time. A signal pulse train with a wavelength tuning range of 18 nm is produced by a passive mode-locked fiber laser based on a nonlinear polarization rotation technique. In order to realize the amplification, an optical delay-line is used to achieve time match between the pulses' interval and the period of pulse running through the regenerative amplifier. The 16 dB gain is obtained for an input pulse train with a launching power of -30.4 dBm, a center wavelength of 1563.4 nm and a repetition rate of 15.3 MHz. The output properties of signal pulses with different center wavelengths are also discussed. The pulse amplification is found to be different from the regenerative amplification system for CW signals.

수백Km 정도의 섬과 섬 섬과 내륙을 해저광케이블로 연결하는 경우 일반 국가간의 500Km이상의 장거리의 중계기 증폭 시스템과 달리 송신단 및 수신단, 광케이블에 EDFA 기술을 적용하여 무중계 시스템을 설계할 수 있다. 중계기가 없음으로 해서 중계기에 공급하는 전력시스템, 동튜브가 내장된 해저케이블, 중계 증폭시 필요한 여기 파장공급용 Laser Diode등이 필요가 없어 고신뢰성 및 경제적인 시스템을 구성 할 수 있다. 그러나 중계 증폭을 하지 않는 만큼 저손실의 광케이블을 사용하여야 한다. 이러한 광증폭 제약 요소들을 고려하여 장거리 무중계 시스템을 고찰 하였다.

타원형 모양의 모드 형태를 갖는 펄스형 레이저 다이오드 (laser diode)의 펄스 형태를 유지하면서 단일 모드 및 Gaussian 형태로 광 모드 변환을 유도하고 광출력을 증폭할 수 있는 기술에 대해서 연구하였다. 실험에서 사용한 펼스형 레이저 다이오드의 구경이 가로는 $300{\mu}m$이며, 세로는 $2{\mu}m$이고 출력은 $1.1mW/cm^2$이다. 렌즈형 광섬유를 사용하여 광결합을 유도하여 단일 모드 및 Gaussian 형태의 출력으로 변환시켰다. 그러나, 다중모드의 펄스형 레이저 다이오드의 출력을 단일모드 렌즈형 광섬유에 결합시키면 출력이 급격하게 감소한다. 따라서 master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) 기반의 광증폭 기술을 이용하여 레이저 다이오드의 광출력을 증폭시켰다. 증폭 후에도 펄스 성질은 그대로 유지되었고, MOPA구조를 지나 증폭된 광 출력은 $29mW/cm^2$로 측정되었다.

In this paper the effect of instability and chaos in optical fiber networks based on the Internet is described. Nonlinear optical fiber effect especially Brillouin scattering in networks has emerged as the essential means for the construction of active optical devices used for all-optic in-line switching, channel selection, amplification, oscillation in optical communications and a host of other applications. The inherent optical feedback by the back-scattered Stokes wave in optical networks also leads to instabilities in the form of optical chaos. This paradigm of optical chaos in fiber Internet serves as a test for fundamental study of chaos and its suppression and exploitation in practical application in optical fiber communication. This paper attempts to present a survey and some of our research findings on the nature of Brillouin chaotic effect on Internet based optical communication.

For a more detailed understanding of the mechanism of an L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier, we investigated 980 nm absorption, signal amplification and forward and backward amplified spontaneous emission along the erbium-doped fiber. In addition, we compared performances of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier with and without a fiber Bragg grating.
