Few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (FM-EDFAs) are one of the most important optical subsystems for successful space division multiplexed transmission systems. In this paper, we propose a new FM-EDFA designed to achieve significantly reduced differential modal gain (DMG) via strong mode coupling. Using a new numerical model based on a fiber transfer matrix, the DMGs of FM-EDFAs are systematically investigated and two different types of six-mode fiber amplifiers are analyzed, as exemplar demonstrations. In a uniformly doped step-index fiber, the DMG can be reduced from 9.3 to 1.1 dB (i.e., 8.2 dB reduction) and further reduced to 0.5 dB in a dual-layer doping structure.

According to the analytical expression for modal gain of few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (FM-EDFAs), we propose a method of measuring the absorption loss coefficients of few-mode signals in few-mode erbium-doped fibers (FM-EDFs) by extrapolating the mode–gain curve dependent on the average population inversion. The absorption loss coefficient of an FM-EDF was measured in our experimental platform and used to estimate the effective erbium-ion doping concentration. The feasibility of the extrapolation method was verified by simulation and comparison with the transmission method. Furthermore, the FM-EDFAs with high modal gain and low differential mode gain (DMG) could be optimized by adjusting the FM-EDF’s length and pump power. The analysis process presented here is very useful for the efficient design of FM-EDFAs from a practical point of view.

In this paper a hybrid amplifier EDFA-RAMAN DWDM transmission system is proposed and demonstrated. A new hybrid two-stage optical fiber amplifier for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) network is observed. The hybrid amplifier is cascaded erbium- doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) & Raman amplifier which provide a nearly flat gain over 80 nm. The hybrid amplifier has been modeled using an Optic-System version 14 on a DWDM transmission. In this paper we compare Q-factor at different input power i.e. at 0db and at 10 db. Here two different types of apodized function (Uniform & Gaussian) are selected as fiber Bragg grating parameters and system performance is analyzed. Performance of the system is analyzed by using BER analyzer.
