Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for measuring optical fiber Raman gain coefficient, belonging to the field of optical communication devices. Background technique

[0002] In the field of optical communication S, C, L band Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) optical fiber transmission system, the transmission loss can be compensated by the fiber Raman amplifier, without the need to convert the optical signal into an electrical signal in advance, directly to the optical The signal is amplified. When designing a fiber Raman amplifier, it is necessary to consider the combined effects of fiber, pump light wavelength and power, and signal light to obtain a certain gain, bandwidth and gain flatness. First, the Raman gain coefficient g of the fiber must be known R (λ), so g R (λ) measurement is very important. about R The measurement of (λ) is usually measured by the small-signal gain method, that is, when a small-signal input is used, the gain...
