AbstractThe interminable need of number of channels in communication systems escorts more number of wavelengths to be used. This broad spectrum of wavelengths when expands in both C and L band, the need of hybrid optical amplifiers (HOA) comes into play. In this work, we proposed an automatic gain-controlled HOA using Residual pumping for C/L band. The desired gain is fixed at 27 dB at pump power swinging between 300 and 400 mW. The input powers are automatically adjusted so as to provide invariable and flat gain eliminating the wavelength dependency of optical amplifier to great extents. Analysis is carried out in a 32 channel WDM system and power transients are also measured in terms of powers of surviving channels and excursion amplitudes by adding and dropping up to 28 channels. The output is adjudicated in terms of maximum gain achieved, OSNR, BER, gain flatness, noise figure and power transient excursion amplitudes.

Raman amplifier is an open area of research in telecommunication field. This paper discusses the performance of 64 channels of 10 Gbps WDM systems with backward multipump Raman amplifier. The main goal of this paper is the optimization of Raman amplifier to minimize its gain variation without using any gain flattening techniques. To increase the transmission capacity of DWDM system, Raman amplifier with backward multipump configuration is implemented. The optimized parameters such as pump power and frequencies are used to deliver both ground and excited state absorption for amplification in S+C and C+L band region. The pump power and frequencies are optimized through multitarget and multiparameter optimization tool available in OptiSystem software. Gain ripple was achieved <0.5 dB for this simulation setup. The maximum flat gain achieved is 8.6 dB and noise figure of <8 dB was achieved for this wide bandwidth without using gain flattening techniques. This amplifier design will be helpful for CATV applications and telecommunication networks.

Sebuah esperimen bagi menambah daya pembesaran untuk jalur gelombang panjang (jalur–L) pembesar terdop erbium (PTE) telah didemonstrasi menggunakan reka bentuk yang berbadan dua. Jika dibandingkan dengan pembesar yang berbadan satu, pembesar ini dapat menambah pembesaran untuk isyarat 1580 nm sebanyak 5.5 dB dengan sedikit sahaja penambahan nilai bisingan. Nilai bisingan bertambah sebanyak 0.3 dB kerana kemasukan isolator dalam reka bentuk. Kadar kuasa pam pertama mestilah 33% daripada jumlah keseluruhan kuasa pam untuk nilai optima. Pembesaran maksimum sebanyak 8.3 dB telah diperolehi oleh isyarat 1568 nm semasa kuasa isyarat dan kuasa pam, masing–masing ditetapkan pada 30 dBm dan 92 mW. Keputusan esperimen menunjukkan penggunaan pembesar berbadan dua dapat menjimatkan kos kerana ia menggunakan kuasa pam yang lebih rendah. Kata kunci: Gentian terdop erbium, pembesar optik, pembesar terdop erbium, jalus LPTE An experiment on gain enhancement in the long–wavelength band erbium–doped fiber amplifier (L–band EDFA) is demonstrated using a dual stage configuration. Compared to a conventional single–stage amplifier, the small signal gain for a 1580 nm signal can be improved by 5.5 dB without paying much noise figure penalty. The corresponding noise figure penalty was 0.3 dB due to the insertion loss of the optical isolator. The optimum pump power ratio for the first pump was experimentally determined to be 33%. The maximum gain improvement of 8.3 dB was obtained at a signal wavelength of 1568 nm while signal and total pump powers were fixed at –30 dBm and 92 mW, respectively. These results show that the employment of the dual–stage amplifier system will play an important role in the development of a practical L–band EDFA from the perspective of economical usage of pump power.

AbstractIn this paper, a competent flat gain hybrid optical amplifier is proposed with an optimum arrangement of erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and Raman amplifier. Attempts are made to design a hybrid optical amplifier for100 channels, 10 Gbps super dense wavelength division multiplexed (SDWDM) systems at channel spacing of 0.1 nm. Work capacity of the system was compared on the basis of various parameters, viz., noise figure and gain that determined the performance of the system. The gain spectrum of the hybrid optical amplifier depends upon the parameters viz., laser input power, pump power and pump wavelength of the amplifier. It was found that for wavelength range 1,560.38–1,579.59 nm, a flat gain of 4.34 dB is achieved for input power of −10 dB with noise figure variation of 0.818 dB without using any gain flattering scheme. Being simple and cost effective, this hybrid optical amplifier could be recommended for gain flatness characteristics and acceptable noise figure for dense wavelength multiplexed systems.

AbstractOptical amplifiers are developed to boost up the performance of the communication systems. Amplifiers such as erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), RAMAN and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) are used for this purpose. It is mandatory to use optical amplifiers for signal transmission to long distances. In this paper, the hybrid optical amplifier EDFA-RAMAN-EDFA is proposed to enhance the signal quality received at receiver end and to initiate the efficient transmission of 8 × 10 Gbps transmission speed for wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system. The proposed mechanism is evaluated with respect to various parameters such as quality factor, eye-height, and bit error rate (BER) and eye diagram considering various values of transmission distance ranging from 100 to 200 km. The analysis shows that the proposed mechanism has better quality factor value and minimum BER value than the traditional approach. Wider eye opening for proposed technique represents that the distortions produced in the system are least.

Abstract In this paper we have examined the performances of 180×10 Gbps super dense wavelength division multiplexing (SD-WDM) system using the RAMAN–thulium-doped tellurite fiber amplifier (TDTFA) hybrid optical amplifier (HOA) with the channel spacing of 50 GHz in S+C+L band. Accepted rating flattened gain of 39.21 dB with the noise figure less than 5 dB is archived with the dual-pumping ( power level of 500 mW at 980 nm and at 1100 nm for RAMAN optical amplifier and similar, power level of TDTF amplifier is set to 500 mW and 350 mW at 1150 nm) technique. The effect of the proposed hybrid amplifier is evaluated in terms of gain and noise figure without using any coast effective technique. The outcome from the proposed model is also compared here with the existing optical amplifier.

Kesan suntikan pancaran spontan terkuat (ASE) jalur–C terhadap prestasi jalur–L penguat gentian terdop–erbium (EDFA) ditunjukkan. Sebuah pekeliling dan parutan gentian Bragg lebar jalur luas digunakan untuk menyalurkan ASE jalur–C ke dalam sistem penguat. Dengan penyuntikan sejumlah kecil ASE (20 dB pelemahan dan lebih), gandaan isyarat kecil ditingkatkan tanpa peningkatan nilai hingar berbanding penguat tanpa suntikan ASE. Peningkatan gandaan maksimum adalah sebanyak 3.5 dB dan dicapai semasa pelemahan 20 dB untuk isyarat 1580 nm. Walau bagaimanapun, jika penguat disuntik dengan jumlah ASE yang besar (VOA=0 dB), gandaan penguat didapati mendatar pada 15.2 dB dari –40 hingga –10 dBm dengan variasi gandaan kurang daripada 0.3 dB. Kuasa tepu juga bertambah dari –8 dBm (semasa tiada ASE) kepada 2 dBm (VOA=0 dB) dengan sedikit peningkatan nilai hingar. Keputusan ini menunjukkan bahawa teknik menyuntik ASE boleh digunakan sama ada untuk meningkatkan gandaan atau untuk menetapkan nilai gandaan dalam EDFA jalur–L. Kata kunci: Penetapan gandaan, penguat optik, EDFA jalur-L, penambahan gandaan, pancaran spontan terkuat The effect of injecting conventional band amplified spontaneous emission (C–band ASE) on the performance of long wavelength band erbium–doped fiber amplifier (L–band EDFA) is demonstrated. A circulator and a broadband fiber Bragg grating (FBG) were used to route a C–band ASE into amplifier system. Injection of a small amount of ASE (attenuation of 20 dB and above) improves the small signal gain with a negligible noise figure penalty compared to that of an amplifier without the ASE injection. A maximum gain improvement of 3.5 dB is obtained at an attenuation of 20 dB for signal wavelength of 1580 nm. At very large amount of ASE injection (VOA=0 dB), the gain of the amplifier is clamped at 15.2 dB from –40 to –10 dBm with a gain variation of less than 0.3 dB. The saturation power is also increased from –8 dBm (for without ASE injection) to 2 dBm (VOA=0 dB) with a slight noise figure penalty. These results show that the ASE injection technique can be used either for gain improvement or gain clamping in L–band EDFA.
