Quantum limited noise figure operation of high gain erbium doped fiber amplifiers
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 1993
Performance improvements obtained by using an isolator as an amplified-spontaneous-emission-suppressing component within erbium-doped fibers are evaluated. Simultaneous high-gain and near-quantum-limited noise figures can be obtained by such a scheme. The noise figure improves for input signal powers below -5 dBm, and an improvement of 2.0 dB with a simultaneous gain increase of 4.1 dB is measured relative to a gain-optimized fiber. The optimum isolator location is evaluated for different pump and signal wavelengths in both an Al/Er-doped and a Ge/Er-doped fiber, for pump and signal power variations and different pump configurations. In all cases the optimum isolator position lies within 10-37% of the total fiber length for small signal operation
