AbstractWe demonstrated two methods of increasing the bandwidth of a broadband light source based on amplified spontaneous emission in thulium-doped fibres. Firstly, we have shown by means of a comprehensive numerical model that the full-width at half maximum of the thulium-doped fibre based broadband source can be more than doubled by using specially tailored spectral filter placed in front of the mirror in a double-pass configuration of the amplified spontaneous emission source. The broadening can be achieved with only a small expense of the output power. Secondly, we report results of the experimental thulium-doped fibre broadband source, including fibre characteristics and performance of the thulium-doped fibre in a ring laser setup. The spectrum broadening was achieved by balancing the backward amplified spontaneous emission with back-reflected forward emission.

AbstractTera hertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) using two semiconductor optical amplifiers and two control signals has been used to design an all optical parity checker and generator. The same circuit can generate and check both even and odd parity using a control input. The numerical simulation using Matlab 2007b is done for performance analysis of the proposed device in terms of output bit pattern, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise, extinction ratio, contrast ratio, pseudo eye diagram, relative eye opening (98.9% for 20 dB gain and 96.21% for 10 dB gain) and their variation with input control pulse energy, amplified spontaneous emission noise factor for different unsaturated gain. The simulated value of E.R. = 81.39 dB, C.R. = 83.15 dB, REOP = 98.9% and Q value = 86.16 dB are found for this proposal.
