High-gain and low-DMG mode amplification characteristics based on two-layer ring-core erbium-doped fiber
In this paper, we proposed a ring-core erbium-doped fiber (RC-EDF) with a two-layer erbium doping profile, a few-mode fiber with a large inter-mode propagation constant difference was fabricated. The minimum effective index difference between mode groups was larger than 8 × 10−4. The overlap integral difference of LP01, LP11 and LP21 in the novel fiber was remarkably decreased by 91.85 % compared with step-index uniformly doped few-mode erbium-doped fiber (FM-EDF). Experiments demonstrated that the modal gains of LP01, LP11 and LP21 were higher than 28 dB and the differential modal gain (DMG) was only 0.45 dB at the wavelength of 1550 nm. The ring-core refractive index structure and two-layer erbium doping technique provide a guidance for mode gain equalization. The proposed RC-EDF is beneficial for the practical applications of a mode multiplexed system with suppressed inter-mode coupling.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
