Abstract
We investigate reducing pump power requirements in super L-band erbium/ytterbium co-doped fiber amplifiers. We examine several pump configurations and find good trade-offs in performance and power when employing a hybrid pumping scheme that combines forward 915 nm cladding-pumping with backward 1480 nm core-pumping. Using experimental measurements with hybrid pumping, we train a neural network model to predict gain and noise figure. With the fast and precise neural network model, we examine the effect on performance (gain, noise figure and total electrical power consumption) as we vary the percentage of power dedicated to cladding vs. core pumping.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
