Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber doped with PbSe quantum dots, in particular to an optical fiber doped with PbSe quantum dots with multiple particle sizes and an optical fiber communication amplifier thereof. 2. Technical background [0002] In dense wavelength division multiplexing all-optical network communication, the optical fiber amplifier is a key device. Among various fiber amplifiers, fiber amplifiers doped with natural rare earth elements, especially erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), have become popular due to their wide bandwidth, high gain, and low noise. Workhorse Fiber Amplifier. In order to increase the bandwidth and flat gain of EDFA, people added other elements (such as ytterbium, thulium, etc.) The EDFA achieved a fairly high level (bandwidth ~ 110nm, flat gain ~ 15dB, noise spectrum is ~ 4.5dB over the entire waveband). In addition, in recent years, as the Raman fiber amplifier with the widest bandwidth, there has b...
