Abstract

The invention discloses a four-line polarization mode signal light online erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier and a running method thereof. The amplifier comprises a first mode multiplexing module, a first erbium-doped optical fiber, a second erbium-doped optical fiber and a second mode multiplexing module, fiber core erbium particles of the first erbium-doped optical fiber are doped annularly, a fiber core of the second erbium-doped optical fiber is doped centrally, and four-line polarization mode signal light and LP11 mode pumping light generated by a first pumping module are injected into the first erbium-doped optical fiber through the first mode multiplexing module. The running method includes that the pumping light and the signal light are subjected to beam combination and enter the first erbium-doped optical fiber, and centrifugal mode signal light acquires high optical gain; the pumping light and the signal light enter the second erbium-doped optical fiber, and central mode signal light acquires high optical gain; remaining pumping light is filtered, and amplified four-line polarization mode signal light is output. By the amplifier and the running method, the process for preparing erbium-doped optical fibers through a chemical vapor disposition method is simplified, only the LP11 mode pumping light is needed while the four-line polarization mode signal light is amplified, and centrifugal mode signal light gain and central mode signal light gain can be controlled respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical communication technology, in particular to an online erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier and an operation method for a four-line polarization mode signal light. Background technique [0002] In recent years, single-mode optical fiber communication is limited by the inherent nonlinearity of optical fiber and the spontaneous emission of amplifiers, and its capacity approaches the Shannon limit. In order to meet the future high-capacity communication needs, the unused optical fiber space degree of freedom has become a new focus of attention. At present, mode division multiplexing (MDM) is widely concerned, and it is one of the important research directions that may break through the Shannon limit of optical fiber. According to information theory, each mode in few-mode fiber can be used as an independent transmission channel; if the transmission characteristics such as nonlinearity and noise of the mode are comparable to ...
