设计并构建全光纤型少模掺铒放大器,实验对比研究不同泵浦模式及方向对LP01、LP11a、LP11b这3个信号模式的增益特性影响.实验对泵浦功率、输入信号功率以及多波长情况下的放大器特性进行分析.结果表明,4种泵浦方案中,前向LP11泵浦情况下放大器有最佳性能,在整个C波段上信号增益超过20dB、模式增益差低于0.9dB,噪声系数小于9.6dB;信号输入功率为-10dBm/模式时,在1550 nm处,3个信号模式的增益均超过20.8dB、DMG低至0.3dB、LP01信号光的噪声系数低于6.2dB以及LP11信号光的噪声系数低于9.6dB.4种泵浦方案下对比不同泵浦方向可得:前向泵浦放大器的噪声系数最小,但3种信号模式的增益也较小,而采用后向泵浦时,高阶信号模式增益增加,但噪声系数也会变大.对比泵浦模式可发现,相比于LP01泵浦,LP11泵浦能大幅提高LP11信号光的增益,对LP01信号光增益影响较小,从而可降低DMG值.
Experimental Comparative Study on Gain and Noise Characteristics of All-Fiber Few-Mode Amplifier Under Different Pumping Methods
An all-fiber few-mode erbium-doped amplifier was built to compare the effects of different pump modes and different pump directions on the gain characteristics of the three signal modes,LP01,LP11a,and LP11b. The experimental results show that the amplifier has the best performance under forward LP11 pumping. The signal gain is more than 20dB,the differential modal gain (DMG) is less than 0.9dB and the noise figure is less than 9.6dB in the whole C band. At a sig-nal input power of-10dBm/mode,the gain of all three signal modes at 1550 nm exceeds 20.8dB,the DMG is as low as 0.3dB,the noise figure of LP01 signaling light is lower than 6.2dB,and the noise figure of LP11 signaling light is lower than 9.6dB. Comparing the different pumping directions under the four pumping schemes,it can be found that the noise figure of the for-ward-pumped amplifier is the smallest,but the gains of the three signal modes are also smaller,while the gain of the higher-order signal modes is increased by using the backward-pumped one,but the noise figure will also become larger. Compar-ing the pumping modes,it can be found that compared with the LP01 pumping,the LP11 pumping can significantly increase the gain of the LP11 signaling light,and has less effect on the gain of the LP01 signaling light,which can reduce the DMG value.
