Along with increasing rapidly of Internet data transmission, in system, use L-band (1565nm-1610nm) to become more and more important, the L-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) has inherent flat gain performance.But because L-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) operation wavelength is away from the radiation peak of erbium ion, its pump conversion efficiency is quite low.Although some technology can effectively improve the L-band signal gain at present, because higher cost or relatively poor noise figure, effect in actual applications is also little.
Find by literature search, Malaysia's College Physics is S.W.Harun, P.Poopalan, " Gain Enhancement in L-Band EDFA Through a Double-PassTechnique (improving the L-band gain of EDFA by the bilateral technology) " publishes thesis with people such as H.Ahmad, IEEE Photon.Technol.Lett., vol.14, NO.3, MARCH 2002 (being published in the electric Engineering society of U.S. photoelectron technology wall bulletin in March, 2002).The document has reported that the raising of L-band signal gain can realize by the bilateral technology.Promptly the output terminal at Er-doped fiber connects a circulator, and amplifying signal is carried out the secondary amplification along importing Er-doped fiber in the other direction once more, and final amplifying signal utilizes the 3rd output port of first circulator to insert spectroanalysis instrument and measures.This structure uses the 980nm pump laser of 98mW and the long erbium ion concentration of 50m as the Er-doped fiber of 400ppm, compares with the single-pass structure, when the 1570nm of input-20dBm flashlight, can improve the about 11dB of gain, the about 2dB of noise figure deterioration.Higher because of its noise figure, especially when pump power was lower, when pump power was 60mW, the noise figure of 1580nm signal was up to 10dB.This is very disadvantageous in some application scenario.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome deficiency of the prior art, the L-band bilateral Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) that provides a kind of fiber grating to strengthen makes it have the characteristics of low-cost and high-performance.The present invention improves the gain of L-band signal and the noise figure of reduction signal by inserting a Fiber Bragg Grating FBG in the bilateral light channel structure, thereby solve above-mentioned two problems that are present in traditional L-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), promptly can effectively improve the gain of L-band, thereby since optical grating reflection a part of C-band spontaneous radiation suppressed back to spontaneous radiation, can obtain lower noise figure, the more important thing is that the cost of system can effectively be reduced.

The reflection wavelength of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG used in the present invention is 1553nm, because 1553nm is lower to the efficiency ratio that the L-band signal transforms, therefore after forward direction passes through Er-doped fiber, except being exaggerated the L-band flashlight, also comprise 1553nm luminous power greatly from the light of Er-doped fiber output.Fiber reflector is with this two parts luminous power while reflected back Er-doped fiber, this moment, pump laser was equivalent to the L-band flashlight is carried out the backward pump amplification, the 1553nm luminous power is then carried out forward direction as additional pumping to the L-band flashlight and is amplified, and is converted into the L-band signal.If use the grating of other reflection wavelength, as to the higher C-band wavelength of L-band conversion of signals efficient, then the signal forward is by behind the Er-doped fiber, the L-band signal that only is exaggerated in the output light, fiber reflector is with flashlight reflected back Er-doped fiber, and pump laser carries out the back to amplification to flashlight.In actual applications, can change the reflection wavelength of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG, select suitable reflection wavelength and reflectivity, the performance of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) can further be optimized.
The parameter of employed pump laser, Er-doped fiber, Fiber Bragg Grating FBG and fiber reflector is not unique, fixing in the structure of the present invention, can do corresponding change as required in actual use, can provide by 980nm pump laser or 1480nm pump laser as pumping laser, and pump power is adjustable; The length of Er-doped fiber can change and can use other doped fiber; Fiber Bragg Grating FBG can be substituted by tunable reflection bandstop filter, can change its reflection wavelength and reflectivity; Fiber reflector can adopt at the terminal plating of Er-doped fiber reflectance coating and realize that an also available optical circulator substitutes.
Compare with traditional L-band Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), the present invention can effectively be reduced the cost of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), utilize low pump power and shorter Er-doped fiber can not only obtain higher gain and lower noise figure, and because economic pump power and the Er-doped fiber length used, its cost advantage also is quite tangible.Change the reflection wavelength of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG, select suitable reflection wavelength and reflectivity, the performance of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) can further be optimized.Therefore this structure will be very competitive in the practical application of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA).

The present invention is further illustrated below in conjunction with embodiment:
At first, by coupling arrangement shown in Figure 1, use a tunable laser source that has optical attenuator as the L-band signal input sources.Wherein the reflection wavelength of Fiber Bragg Grating FBG 3 is 1553nm, and reflectivity is 90%, and reflection three dB bandwidth is that the used Er-doped fiber length of 0.2nm is 70m, and concentration of Er is 240ppm.For the ease of understanding advantage of the present invention, also measured the experimental result of other three kinds of structures.Model 1 is a no-raster single-pass structure, and this structure can be by taking out Fiber Bragg Grating FBG in new construction, replaces Fiber Bragg Grating FBG respectively with two optoisolators simultaneously and fiber coupler obtains; Model 2 is that grating single-pass structure is arranged, and this structure is to insert a Fiber Bragg Grating FBG on the basis of model 1; Model 3 is no-raster dual channel structures, and this structure can obtain by directly take out Fiber Bragg Grating FBG from new construction; Model 4 is the grating dual channel structure that has used in the present invention.In model 1 and 2, spectroanalysis instrument is the output port that is connected to second isolator; And in model 3 and 4, spectroanalysis instrument is connected to the 3rd output port of fiber coupler.In this experiment, the measurement structure of all structures all is to carry out under identical experiment condition.The luminous power of input/output signal, gain and noise figure are measured by spectroanalysis instrument.Analyze explanation of the present invention characteristic with different luminous power inputs as embodiment below in conjunction with different wavelength.
Under the pump power condition of 60mW, the 1580nm signal of input-20dBm is measured four kinds of structures.In the model 1,2,3,4, the output power of 1580nm is respectively-16.06dBm ,-4.19dBm ,-8.97dBm, 0.04dBm.The gain of model 1 is very low, has only 4dB, because lower for this structure pumping efficiency.In the model 2, the Fiber Bragg Grating FBG that reflection wavelength is 1553nm has reflected a part of spontaneous radiation and has entered Er-doped fiber as diode pumping.Compare with model 1, the gain of 1580nm has improved about 12dB, but the output power of 1553nm light is quite strong, reaches-9.36dBm, this will influence the reception of L-band signal.If increase the length of Er-doped fiber, the light of 1553nm can be absorbed fully, and is converted into the L-band flashlight of amplification, but this technology is uneconomic.Model 3 utilizes the bilateral technology to amplify the L-band signal, but the back to spontaneous radiation too strong, thereby cause the noise figure of amplifying signal very high.And the structure composition of model 4 model 2 and 3 advantage, in this structure, the gain of 1580nm is up to 20dB, and because FRM absorbs remaining 1553nm light reflected back Er-doped fiber once more, no longer contains this wavelength power in output spectrum.What deserves to be mentioned is because the 1553nm light in the Er-doped fiber into of being reflected has suppressed back to spontaneous radiation, back in the model 4 to the spontaneous radiation power level than model 3 low about 9dB, so this structure while also can obtain lower noise figure.
