Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an optical fiber amplifier, in particular to an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier used for remote pumping of an optical fiber Raman laser in a non-relay optical fiber communication system. Background technique [0002] The remote pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier (referred to as the remote pumped optical amplifier) ​​is the main relay optical amplifier of the unrepeated optical fiber communication system. The light is transmitted to the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) for pumping, which has the characteristics that the relay point does not need power supply. The pumping absorption peaks of Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) are 980nm and 1480nm, so the pumping sources of 980nm and 1480nm are selected. The EDFA pumped by 1480nm laser has a two-level structure, and the noise figure is relatively high, generally around 6dB. The noise figure of EDFA pumped by ordinary 980 is only 4.5dB or even lower, but the transmissio...
