Kesan suntikan pancaran spontan terkuat (ASE) jalur–C terhadap prestasi jalur–L penguat gentian terdop–erbium (EDFA) ditunjukkan. Sebuah pekeliling dan parutan gentian Bragg lebar jalur luas digunakan untuk menyalurkan ASE jalur–C ke dalam sistem penguat. Dengan penyuntikan sejumlah kecil ASE (20 dB pelemahan dan lebih), gandaan isyarat kecil ditingkatkan tanpa peningkatan nilai hingar berbanding penguat tanpa suntikan ASE. Peningkatan gandaan maksimum adalah sebanyak 3.5 dB dan dicapai semasa pelemahan 20 dB untuk isyarat 1580 nm. Walau bagaimanapun, jika penguat disuntik dengan jumlah ASE yang besar (VOA=0 dB), gandaan penguat didapati mendatar pada 15.2 dB dari –40 hingga –10 dBm dengan variasi gandaan kurang daripada 0.3 dB. Kuasa tepu juga bertambah dari –8 dBm (semasa tiada ASE) kepada 2 dBm (VOA=0 dB) dengan sedikit peningkatan nilai hingar. Keputusan ini menunjukkan bahawa teknik menyuntik ASE boleh digunakan sama ada untuk meningkatkan gandaan atau untuk menetapkan nilai gandaan dalam EDFA jalur–L. Kata kunci: Penetapan gandaan, penguat optik, EDFA jalur-L, penambahan gandaan, pancaran spontan terkuat The effect of injecting conventional band amplified spontaneous emission (C–band ASE) on the performance of long wavelength band erbium–doped fiber amplifier (L–band EDFA) is demonstrated. A circulator and a broadband fiber Bragg grating (FBG) were used to route a C–band ASE into amplifier system. Injection of a small amount of ASE (attenuation of 20 dB and above) improves the small signal gain with a negligible noise figure penalty compared to that of an amplifier without the ASE injection. A maximum gain improvement of 3.5 dB is obtained at an attenuation of 20 dB for signal wavelength of 1580 nm. At very large amount of ASE injection (VOA=0 dB), the gain of the amplifier is clamped at 15.2 dB from –40 to –10 dBm with a gain variation of less than 0.3 dB. The saturation power is also increased from –8 dBm (for without ASE injection) to 2 dBm (VOA=0 dB) with a slight noise figure penalty. These results show that the ASE injection technique can be used either for gain improvement or gain clamping in L–band EDFA.

Dynamic Gain

The adjustable gain-clamped semiconductor optical amplifier (AGC-SOA) uses two SOAs in a ring-cavity topology: one to amplify the signal and the other to control the gain. The device was designed to maximize the output saturated power while adjusting gain to regulate power differences between packets without loss of linearity. This type of subsystem can be used for power equalisation and linear amplification in packet-based dynamic systems such as passive optical networks (PONs). A detailed theoretical model is presented in this paper to simulate the operation of the AGC-SOA, which gives a better understanding of the underlying gain clamping mechanics. Simulations and comparisons with steady-state and dynamic gain modulation experimental performance are given which validate the model.

Wavelength Division

The incorporation of cascaded and hybrid-type optical amplifiers into the optical fiber link is advantageous for the purpose of achieving wide gain bandwidth of multi-wavelength coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) systems. Different amplifiers whose operating gain region differ from each other are connected in cascade, thus providing better gain performance as the overall gain is combined and flattened over a larger spectrum. In this paper, the effect of the crossover of the uniform gain of the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and the nonuniform gain of erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is analyzed using an in-line cascaded SOA-SOA and an in-line hybrid SOA-EDFA configuration in the amplification of an 8-channels CWDM system obtained from the simulation using Optisystem software. It was observed that the cascaded SOA-SOA produces higher gain of 25 dB and wider gain bandwidth of 60 nm compared to the hybrid SOA-EDFA configuration with maximum gain of only 24 dB and 40 nm bandwidth. In addition, better bit-error-rate (BER) performance which is within the typical values in optical fiber communication is also achieved from the cascaded SOA topology. Wider gain bandwidth obtained with the SOA-SOA configuration would permit the transmission of video application at 1551 nm in the proposed Ethernet CWDM system transmitted at 100 Mb/s data rates.

Subcarrier Multiplexing

AbstractA bidirectional subcarrier multiplexing (SCM)-radio-over-fiber(RoF) network is proposed. In this paper, SCM RoFlink is analyzed with and without optical amplifier. The response of the system is studied for semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and Raman amplifier. The results for the same are compared and then the appropriate amplifier is selected and the required gain for the optimal performance of the system is reported.
