Problems solved by technology

[0006] The length of the erbium-doped fiber of the L-band fiber amplifier is relatively long, and the direct use of the traditional C-band optical path structure in the L-band amplifier may cause problems such as large noise index, low conversion efficiency, and serious nonlinear four-wave mixing in the fiber. , and the production cost of L-band fiber amplifier is relatively high

Embodiment 1

[0044] Embodiments of the present invention provide a balanced pumped L-band fiber amplifier, such as Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a first erbium-doped fiber 1-1, a second erbium-doped fiber 1-2, an absorbing erbium-doped fiber 1-3 and at least two pump lasers, the first erbium-doped fiber 1-1, the second The erbium-doped fiber 1-2 and the absorbing erbium-doped fiber 1-3 are set successively, and the at least two pump lasers are used to provide pumping light; wherein, the first erbium-doped fiber 1-1 is covered by at least two of them The pump lasers inject forward pump light and backward pump light, and the second erbium-doped fiber 1-2 is also injected with forward pump light and backward pump light by at least two of the pump lasers. Compared with the existing double forward pumping, the present invention adds backward pumping, so that both sections of erbium-doped optical fiber become bidirectional pumping, and at the same time, a section is added downstream o...

Embodiment 2

[0055] The specific structure of the fixed-gain L-band amplifier FGA is introduced in the above-mentioned embodiment 1. On the basis of the embodiment 1, the embodiment of the present invention will introduce the specific structure of the variable-gain L-band amplifier VGA. The main difference from FGA is that a variable optical attenuator (Variable optical attenuator, abbreviated as VOA) is added to VGA. Because the insertion loss of VOA is relatively large, and the loss of gain flattening filter at certain wavelength points is relatively large, If the two devices are placed together, the noise figure will be greatly affected, so the two devices need to be separated into different sections of erbium-doped optical fiber. Therefore, the VGA structure will have one more section of erbium-doped fiber than the FGA structure, and the extra section of fiber is recorded as the third erbium-doped fiber 1-4. Bidirectional pumping can also be forward pumped, while the first and last erb...

Embodiment 3

[0065] In order to better verify the overall performance of the optical fiber amplifier provided by this solution, the embodiment of the present invention has carried out comparative experiments on a variety of different pumping methods. Specifically, taking the FGA provided in Example 1 as an example, the optical path contains two sections that require The erbium-doped fiber injected with pump light, under the condition of the same gain and output power, studied the relationship between the noise figure and the pumping method, and the relationship between the nonlinear four-wave mixing effect and the pumping method. The research results show that, When the two sections of erbium-doped fiber are bidirectionally pumped and an absorbing erbium-doped fiber is added, the overall performance of the fiber amplifier is optimal. The specific experimental results are as follows:

[0066] Figure 6 When the FGA gain and output power are the same, the curves of noise index changes corre...

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical communication, in particular to a balanced pumped L-band optical fiber amplifier. 【Background technique】 [0002] With the introduction of the concept of "Internet +", the development of 5G, cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things has put forward higher requirements for the bandwidth and speed of existing communication networks. 100Gbit / s systems are mainstream equipment, and 200Gbit / s and 400Gbit / s systems are already in the trial stage. For systems beyond 100G, dual-carrier or multi-carrier schemes are often used, and the modulation format also adopts 8QAM or 16QAM. The spectrum utilization rate is not high, and the traditional C-band (1528-1568nm) channel can no longer meet the bandwidth requirements. The system uses L-band signals (1570-1610nm) The demand is more and more urgent. [0003] In fiber amplifiers, it is generally realized through the optical path structure of two or three o...
