A new, simple lasing loop configuration employing a fiber grating was proposed and demonstrated for all-optical gain control of erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The lasing loop was designed such that the fiber grating acts as a notch filter to cutoff the lasing light as well as selects the lasing wavelength. The operating gain was clamped to the same level as the loop loss and it could be varied with a tunable directional coupler in the loop. It is believed that this type of gain-controlled erbiumdoped fiber amplifier can have several advantages when used in wavelength-division-multiplexed transmission systems.

We examine the performance of a Raman amplifier as a function of fiber structure with respect to amplifier gain and double Rayleigh crosstalk penalty. Variations on fiber core radius or index affect both the Raman gain efficiency and Rayleigh backscattering. Contrary to the common concept, the penalty from the doubly amplified Rayleigh scattering could exceed the benefits of higher gain efficiency of small effective area fibers. Appropriate fiber designing parameters are required to increase Raman amplifier efficiency without system penalties. lties.

광통신이 발달하면서 보다 빠른 정보전송을 할 수 있지만 다른 전송매체와 마찬가지로 장거리 전송 시 손실이 발생하고 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 광 증폭기의 필요성이 대두 되었다. 기존의 광신호 증폭기에서는 광 신호를 전기신호 변환한 후 증폭하고 다시 증폭된 전기신호를 광신호로 변환하는 과정과 복잡한 구조는 전송시스템의 병목 문제를 유발하였다. 이러한 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 순수 광신호 증폭시스템인 어븀첨가광섬유증폭기 (EDFA)를 제작하고 EDFA의 이득평탄화를 위하여 이득평탄화 필터로 MLPFG를 제작하여 적용하였다. 제작된 EDFA는 20dB 이상의 신호 증폭을 보였다.

1.3$mu extrm{m}$ 대역에서 증폭특성을 갖는 광섬유 증폭기인 Praseodymium-doped fiber amplifier(PDFA)는 Ohishi 등에 의해서 처음으로 제안되었다. 수십 nm의 이득 대역폭을 갖고, 30dB 이상의 높은 신호 이득을 갖는 PDFA는 1.3～l.6$\mu\textrm{m}$에 이르는 광대역 WDM을 위한 중요한 증폭기로 사용되고 있다. 최근에는 1.3~1.6$\mu\textrm{m}$에 이르는 광대역 WDM을 위해 광섬유 증폭기의 이득을 shift시키고, 이득 평탄화를 위한 많은 연구가 진해되어 지고 있으나, 광섬유 내에서 초고속의 광 신호를 증폭 시 발생할 수 있는 상호채널 간섭, 상호변조 왜곡, bit rate 높은 펄스열의 증폭 시 발생할 수 있는 이득소멸(gain depletion)과 이득회복(gain recovery) 등과 같은 과도응답 현상에 관한 연구는 충분히 보고되어있지 않다.

Performance of soliton based long-haul optical communication system with in-line optical amplifier repeaters are evaluated numerically. To reduce the optical amplifier noise, the amplifier gain is increased and the post amplifier loss is included. By theoretical calculation with 1480 nm co propagating pump, 7 dB amplifier gain and operating the amplifier 1 dB in compression, the spontaneous emission factor can be reduced from 2.37 to 1.45 by increasing the pump power from 3.71 to 11.53 mW and increasing the post amplifier loss from 0 to 10 dB. Then, power penalty can be reduced from 4.09 to 1.20 dB for 8,000'km transmission and the maximum transmission distance is 14,890 km. ,890 km.

In this paper, we experimentally investigate the fiber fuse in single-mode 2-kW-class high-power fiber amplifiers, depending on the cooling method at the splicing point. We measured the temperature of the splicing point between the pump-signal combiner and gain fiber as a function of laser output power. The temperature of the splicing point increased from 20 to 32℃ with a slope of 0.01℃/W, up to 1.2 kW of laser output power. At higher powers the temperature of the splicing point increased dramatically, with a slope of 0.08℃/W. After that, the fiber amplifier was destroyed during operation at 1.96 kW of output power by fiber fuse. The bullet shape, a common feature of fiber fuse, was observed in the damaged passive fiber core of the pump-signal combiner. Later, we adopted an improved water-cooled cold plate to increase the cooling efficiency at the splicing point, and investigated the laser output power. The temperature at the splicing point was 35.8℃ with a temperature-rise slope of 0.007℃/W at the maximum output power of 2.05 kW. The beam quality M² was measured to be less than 1.3, and the output beam's profile was a stable Gaussian shape. Finally, neither fiber fuse nor mode instability was observed in the fiber amplifier at the maximum output power of 2.05 kW.

The transient response in PDFA(Praseodymium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) is theoretically investigated. The PDFA has the spectral gain band in 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The transient model includes the transient buildup of the population inversion, the pump power, and the signal power and their transient variation along the fiber amplifier. The numerical analysis of transient model can predict the gain saturation, the variation of pump power and the gain as a function of the fiber length. It also shows the gain saturation and recovery effects depending on the pumping rate lead to distortion and saturation in the amplification of optical pulse. The results of numerical analysis, for the case of the Pr ion concentration of 1000ppm and the pump power of 0.5W the gain saturation is obtained 30dB at the length of 5m and the saturation time of upper level is 250 $mutextrm{s}$.

We investigate the gain dynamics of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers during single- and multi-channel amplification. Power transients due to the changes in the number of channels in the amplifier chain are measured. We successfully suppress power transients by using a fast pump control circuit with<$\mu$s response time.
