摘要:
A broadband ASE light source is provided which comprises an amplifying optical fiber doped with rare earth; a pumping light source and an output port both which are connected to one end of the amplifying optical fiber via a multiplexer; and a reflecting or circulating member which is connected to the other end of the amplifying optical fiber, whereby the amplifying optical fiber emits ASE light containing a first and second wavelength bands through the port. Particularly, a second pumping light source may be connected to the other end of the amplifying optical fiber via another multiplexer to widen the wavelength band to longer wavelength side. Further, using the amplifying Er-doped optical fiber with the pumping light sources having wavelength of a 980 nm band, the ASE light source can emit a flattened broadband of 1530 to 1610 nm, combining the two wavelength bands of 1530 to 1570 mn and 1570 to 1610 nm. The input power supplied for the amplifying fiber from the second pumping light source may be less than 20% of the input power supplied for the amplifying fiber from the first pumping light source.

An optical fiber coupler for optical fiber amplifier use in the field of optical communications is provided. The optical fiber coupler comprises: a rare earth-doped fiber as an optical amplifying element; a quasi rare earth-doped fiber for entrance of input signal light; a fused-stretch fiber portion as a multiplexing element which connects a part of the rare earth-doped fiber and a parts the quasi rare earth-doped fiber, wherein the fused-stretch fiber portion formed by stretched a fused mixture of parts of the rare earth-doped fiber and the quasi rare earth-doped fiber; and a single mode fiber which is jointed at a fused joint portion to another shortened rare earth-doped fiber connected to the fused-stretch fiber portion on a side connected by the quasi rare earth-doped fiber. The quasi rare earth-doped fiber has substantially equal propagation constant to the rare earth-doped fiber without substantially containing rare earth elements. The optical fiber coupler is fabricated by the steps of jointing a single mode fiber with a rare earth-doped fiber by fusing abutted end faces of both fibers to form a combined fiber; and fusing parallel contact parts of a quasi rare earth-doped fiber and of the rare earth-doped fiber of the combined fiber and then elongating the fused parts in a desired diameter to form a fused-stretch fiber portion.
