Abstract

The invention relates to a distributed fiber Raman amplifier. A light signal enters a transmission fiber through a fiber isolator, a tail end of the transmission fiber is connected with an input end of a wavelength division multiplexer, a pump signal input end of the wavelength division multiplexer is connected with a Raman pump laser device. Output of a signal public end of the wavelength division multiplexer is output of the distributed fiber Raman amplifier, and an amplified light signal is outputted. The transmission fiber of the distributed fiber Raman amplifier is inserted with one or two saturable absorbers for inhibiting Rayleigh noise. The absorber can be a semiconductor saturable absorber or a carbon nanotube saturable absorber. Length of the transmission fiber divided into two segments is about one half of a total length when one saturable absorber is inserted, length of the transmission fiber divided into three segments is about one third of the total length when two saturable absorbers are inserted. The distributed fiber Raman amplifier can further be a bidirectional pump distributed fiber Raman amplifier. The distributed fiber Raman amplifier effectively inhibits gain of the Rayleigh noise, realizes Raman amplification with high gain and low noise and improves an all-optical relay distance of fiber communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber amplifier, in particular to a distributed optical fiber Raman amplifier applied to optical fiber communication relay amplification. Background technique [0002] The distributed fiber Raman amplifier has a very low noise figure, and the optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of the distributed fiber Raman amplifier in the fiber optic communication link is 4dB-5dB higher than that of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), so it can Greatly extend the maximum transmission distance of non-electric regenerative relay, or be more suitable for higher rate optical signal relay amplification. However, when the switching gain of the fiber Raman amplifier is high, the level of double Rayleigh scattering noise (DRB, hereinafter referred to as Rayleigh noise) of the Raman amplifier will exceed the level of spontaneous emission noise (ASE) and become the main noise source. Seriously affect the communication signal quality....
