AbstractErbium-doped planar optical amplifiers can find numerous applications in photonic integrated circuits operating at 1.5 μm. The challenge is to fabricate these devices with high gain, operating at low pump power, and having small overall size. In this paper a review is given of our recent work in the area of Er-doped waveguide materials and amplifiers based on three materials classes: oxide films (A12O3, Y2O3, SiO2), polymers, and silicon.

The paper presents the measurement and calculation of the optical amplifier gain and the optimal length of the active optical amplifier waveguide doped with Bi-Ge radiation complexes compared to an optical amplifier with active doping with ions Er3+, Yb3+. At present are using optical amplifiers for the high-capacity optical communication systems in the narrow spectral region of 1530–1560 nm, determined by the gain bandwidth of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) or erbium-doped optical planar amplifiers (EDPA) realized as active planar waveguides in the optical integrated circuits technique. However, it is possible increase wavelength region up to 1610 nm, where optical losses of telecommunication fibers are less than 0.3 dB per km, if appropriate amplifiers are available. In this regard, the development of novel optical amplifiers operating in this spectral region have of great importance. The paper summarizes the results measurement of the attenuation and emission spectra for net gain spectra calculation of the new ion exchange Ag+ – Na+ optical Er3+ and Yb3+ doped active planar waveguides realized on silica glass substrates and parameters of novel optical amplifiers for extension of the bandwidth from 1530 to 1610 nm doped by bismuth – erbium ions.

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.

AbstractIn this paper we have study the performance of different optical amplifiers (Erbium doped amplifier (EDFA), RAMAN amplifier, and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)) for 80 channels wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system with the data rate at 10 Gbps data rate for the transmission distance of 280 km After getting the results of these amplifiers the performance of these has to be compared The Q-factor values achieved better in EDFA as compared to SOA and RAMAN. While the BER getting good in SOA as compared with other amplifiers but in EDFA after 200 km it goes saturated, the Power achieved at the power estimator is getting better in EDFA optical amplifier while in other amplifier it achieved negative. At the end it is also study the Power with frequency in THz and the Eye Diagram of such amplifiers results.

We present the fabrication and characterization of a short core pumped fiber amplifier made of Yb3+-Er3+codoped phosphate glasses. The 27 mm long amplifier provides a maximum internal gain of 10.7 dB for a signal of −30 dBm at 1535 nm with a 479 mW pump power operating at 975.6 nm. This leads to a gain of 4.0 dB/cm, which compares favorably to other recent works.

Abstract A design of all-optical half-subtractor (AOHS) is presented based on two-dimensional (2-D) photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides without using optical amplifiers and nonlinear materials. It is an essential component of various photonic integrated circuits. The design of AOHS circuit is based on beam interference principle, using square lattice of Y-shaped and T-shaped waveguides with silicon dielectric rods in air substrate. It is validated through finite-difference time-domain and using MATLAB simulations.

Erbium-doped organic emitters are promising active materials for Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) due to their emission shown at 1550 nm combined to the potential low cost processing. In particular, Erbium Quinoline (ErQ) gained a strong interest in the last decade for the good emission efficiency. This contribution reports the results derived from the application of ErQ as active core material within a buried optical waveguide, following the development of a purposed optical process to control the refractive index of ErQ and then to define a patterned structure from a single thin film deposition step. The reported results show the potential of Er-doped organic materials for low cost processing and application to planar PICs.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze the performance of RAMAN amplifier (RAMAN), Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) amplifiers separately at 10 Gbps data rate for 32-channel WDM system for a fiber length of 40 km to 280 km. Depending upon the results, the performance of the three amplifiers has been compared. It is observed that RAMAN amplifier provides a better result in terms of Q factor up to a fiber distance of approximately 20 km and in terms of bit error rate (BER) up to a distance of approximately 40 km among all the three amplifiers. EDFA starts providing better Q factor after a fiber distance of approximately 20 km and better BER after a fiber distance of approximately 40 km among all the three amplifiers. But power received is minimum in case of RAMAN amplifier. In terms of power received, SOA provides better result up to a fiber distance of approximately 120 km and after that EDFA provides a better result in terms of power received among all the three amplifiers. All these parameters (Q factor, BER and power received) are also analyzed for different values of laser power. Finally, the eye diagram has also been analyzed.
