    摘要: Disclosed are optical gain fibers which include an erbium-containing core and a cladding surrounding the core and which have ripple of less than about 25% over about a 40 nm wide window or ripple of less than about 15% over about a 32 nm wide window, or both. In one embodiment, the optical gain fibers are pumpable at 980 nm and at 1480 nm. In another embodiment, the optical gain fibers are fusion sliceable. In yet another embodiment, the core includes oxides erbium; the cladding includes silicon dioxide; and the optical gain fiber has a passive loss of less than about 0.5% of the peak absorption of the erbium absorption band in the vicinity of 1530 nm. The optical gain fibers of the present invention have a wider gain window, improved flatness across the gain window, and/or increased gain as compared to conventional optical gain fibers. Accordingly, they are useful in amplifying optical signals, particularly signals which need to be repeatedly amplified over the course of a long-haul transmission, without losses in the signal quality that are commonly encountered in conventional optical signal amplifying methods.

    摘要: An optical fiber amplifier module is disclosed which comprises a signal path located between a signal input and a signal output. A WDM coupler and an amplifying gain medium are disposed along the signal path. A pump laser is disposed out of the signal path in a manner that allows a pump signal from the pump laser to reflect off the WDM coupler and enter the signal path. An embodiment utilizing a second WDM coupler and a second pump laser is also disclosed.

    摘要: 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.
