Study and Optimization of Raman Amplifiers in Tellurite-Based Optical Fibers for Wide-Band Telecommunication Systems
Abstract Here we present a numerical analysis and the optimization of a multi-pump discrete Raman amplification system based on the use of a Tellurite optical fiber as the gain media. By using previously reported optimization techniques we were able to exploit the high Raman gain of Tellurite optica...

| description | Abstract Here we present a numerical analysis and the optimization of a multi-pump discrete Raman amplification system based on the use of a Tellurite optical fiber as the gain media. By using previously reported optimization techniques we were able to exploit the high Raman gain of Tellurite optical fibers and its multipeak spectrum to achieve amplification over an amplification band from 1520 to 1600 nm. Average gains around 10 dB with ripples in the region of 3 dB were achieved using only 3 pumps with less than 800 mW each. Optimized systems were obtained for different lengths of fiber showing that discrete Raman amplifiers based on tellurite fibers with lengths as short as 100 meters can provide high gains and low ripples in a broad wavelength band. Lower cost systems using only 2 pumps were also analyzed in this study providing 5.8 dB of gain with only 2.4 dB of ripple for an 80 nm signal bandwidth. |
