摘要
为了研究放大的自发辐射(ASE)对高功率脉冲Er-Yb共掺光纤放大器(EYDFA)的影响,采用数值模拟对EYDFA中不同参数信号的放大进行了研究。结果表明,Yb波段(1.0~1.1 μm)ASE是制约放大器输出功率提升的主要因素。因此,有效地抑制Yb波段ASE 将有助于放大器性能的提高。通过进一步研究发现,在放大器的抽运端引入一个Yb波段的辅助信号能有效地抑制Yb波段ASE,从而提高抽运转换效率,提升放大器的输出功率。
Abstract
In order to investigate the impact of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) on the performance of high-power pulsed Er-Yb codoped fiber amplifiers (EYDFAs), several EYDFAs with different input signal parameters are studied numerically. The results show that the Yb-band (1.0~1.1 μm) ASE is the main factor that limits the efficiency of a high-power pumped EYDFA. Therefore, suppressing the Yb-band ASE can effectively help to improve the performance of the amplifiers. It is found that adding an Yb-band signal at the pump end can help to reduce the Yb-band ASE effectively. Simultaneously, this method can also enhance the power conversion efficiency and improve the output power of the amplifiers.
