Abstract

An EDFA involves the use of Single Mode Fibers (SMFs) and Erbium Doped Fibers (EDFs). Studies have indicated that the splicing of an SMF to another SMF is less sensitive to fusion splicing parameters, if they are selected within an appropriate range. However, splicing of dissimilar fibers such as an SMF to an EDF poses a new set of requirements on the splicing specifications. Due to the variation in physical properties of the two fibers, the splice loss between them is much higher compared with that between SMF-SMF. The objective of this research endeavor was to develop a systematic procedure to minimize the losses between an EDF and an SMF. Relevant splicing parameters were identified through statistically designed experiments. Significant parameters were screened out and their interactions studied. The experimental results are discussed. Through this research effort, a systematic procedure for evaluating an EDF and identifying the parameters that could be used for a specific batch of fibers was developed. Guidelines for the characterization process are also discussed.

单模光纤与掺铒光纤之间剪接损耗的最小化

EDFA包括单模光纤(smf)和掺铒光纤(edf)的使用。研究表明，在适当的范围内选择一个SMF到另一个SMF的剪接对融合剪接参数的敏感性较低。然而，将不同的纤维(如SMF)拼接到EDF对拼接规范提出了一组新的要求。由于两种纤维物理性质的差异，它们之间的剪接损耗比SMF-SMF之间的剪接损耗要高得多。这项研究的目的是开发一种系统的程序，以尽量减少EDF和SMF之间的损失。通过统计设计实验确定相关拼接参数。筛选出重要参数并研究其相互作用。对实验结果进行了讨论。通过这项研究，开发了一个系统的程序来评估EDF并确定可用于特定批次纤维的参数。还讨论了表征过程的指导方针。
