비대칭 구조의 커플러에 대한 이론적 고찰과 함께 EDFA 이득평탄용 필터로서의 응용과 그에 대한 설계를 하였다. 이득평탄필터를 구현하기 위한 비대칭 커플러의 광섬유 파라미터를 제시하였고 커플러의 광 결합 길이와 코어간의 거리에 따른 이득평탄필터의 투과 스펙트럼의 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 알아보았다. 그리고 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 하여 약 30nm의 대역폭에 걸쳐서 EDFA의 이득 스펙트럼을 $\pm$0.75 ㏈이하로 평탄화할 수 있는 이득평탄필터를 설계하였다.

기계적으로 유도된 소자형 장주기 광섬유격자를 처음으로 제작해 보았다. 본 연구의 장주기 광섬유격자 소자는 제작이 용이하며. 다른 광 소자나 시스템에 적용 또는 장착이 가능하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, 제작된 장주기 광섬유격자 소자는 격자 제작시 중심파장과 투과손실을 가변할 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있다. 장주기 광섬유격자 소자의 제작원리를 살펴보고, 제작된 장주기 광섬유격자의 파장가변 특성과 압력에 따른 투과특성을 실험해 보았으며, 장주기 광섬유격자 소자를 EDFA의 이득 평탄화 실험에 적용해 보았다.

We have investigated gain flattening of EDFA systems with or without a gain equalizer for WDM long-haul transmission using a re-circulating EDFA loop. Without a gain equalizer, gain variation as small as 2.9 dB was achieved over the 10-nm band of a 100 cascaded EDFA system by the inversion principle. With a gain equalizer based on all-fiber acousto-optic tunable filters, two different config-urations of EDFAs were tested. For a single-stage EDFA scheme, the 21-nm band has shown 3.8 dB of gain variation at 17.4 ∼ 20.3 dB of OSNRs after the 100the stage of EDFAs. For a dual-stage EDFA scheme, a wider bandwidth of 34 nm has shown 3.6-dB variation after 40 cascaded EDFAs.

The optical gain and noise figure improved double-pass two-stage EDFA using a mirror, circulator, and gain-flattening filters is proposed. By double passing the pump light and removing the ASE propagating into the input part, the signal gain of 5 ㏈ and noise figure of 2.1 ㏈ are improved compared to the conventional single- and double-pass EDFA With gain-fattening filters in the second stage of EDFA, we obtain an improved flat gain with a gain flatness less than 1 ㏈ over 33-nm wavelength range at the 980-nm pump power of 86 ㎽.

For multi parameter optimization of Raman Fiber Amplifier (RFA), a simple genetic algorithm is presented in the scenario of a 320 channel Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) system at channel spacing of 25 GHz. The large average gain (> 22 dB) is observed from optimized RFA with the optimized parameters, such as 39.6 km of Raman length with counter-propagating pumps tuned to 205.5 THz and 211.9 THz at pump powers of 234.3 mW, 677.1 mW respectively. The gain flattening filter (GFF) has also been optimized to further reduce the gain ripple across the frequency range from 190 to 197.975 THz for broadband amplification.

All-optical fiber-type gain flattening filer (GFF) for an EDFA (Erbium doped fiber amplifier) were fabricated by using a FBT (fiber biconical tapered) process and the performance of the GFF was tested and athermal package was proposed. Historically, the chief contributor to gain unevenness has been the EDFA. Due to the inherent gain response of the EDFA's operation, there is always a modest imbalance in the gain applied as a function of wavelength. FBT methods have been used to make fiber type couplers and WDM filter since 1980. Attractivity of this methods was simple, cost effective and thermal stability. Simulation program tool is made to design target GFF profile for this paper. Fiber coupler manufacturing machine is modified for the GFF process. The final GFF is obtained by cascading 4 unit filter that has 6 taper stage. Test result shows 1 dB of wavelength flatness in the C band. Polarization dependent loss is under 0.15dB. The center wavelength variation is below ${\pm}$0.35nm at the temperature range of $20^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$.

A simple experimental method to design gain-flattened erbium-doped fiber amplifier is proposed and demonstrated based on the two linear relations between the output power and the pump power, and between the gain and the length of the eribium-doped fiber at the gain flattened state. The spectral gain variation of the eribium-doped fiber amplifiber constructed by this method was less than 0.4 dB over 12 nm (1,545~1,557nm) wavelength region. The gain flatness is also controlled within 0.4 dB over the input power range of -30~-15dBm/ch through the feedback control utilizing the amplified spontaneous emission power in the 1,530 nm region.

장주기 광섬유 브라그 격자 필터와 음향광학필터를 함께 사용하여 에르븀 첨가 광섬유 증폭기(EDFA)의 이득을 평탄화하고, 이 EDFA의 장거리 전송에서의 이득 및 신호대 잡음비 특성을 recirculating loop에서 평가하였다. 이 때, 광신호는 EDFA 200회 통과 시에 20 nm의 매우 넓은 파장 범위에서 4.6 dB 이내의 이득 평탄도와 14 dB 이상의 신호대 잡음비의 특성을 보임으로써, 이 EDFA 가 파장분할방식으로 8000km 가 넘는 초장거리 광전송에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.
