摘要
实现了基于PbS量子点掺杂的近红外S-C-L超宽带低噪声光纤放大器(QDFA)。以紫外(UV)固化胶为光纤纤芯本底,以PbS量子点作为增益介质,由973 nm单模激光器、隔离器、波分复用器、量子点掺杂光纤等构成全光路结构,在1470~1620 nm的宽波带区间实现了对信号光的放大。结果表明:在1550 nm波长附近,QDFA的带宽为75 nm。当输入信号光功率为-23 dBm时,开关增益为16 dB~19 dB(净增益为12.26 dB~15.26 dB),噪声系数约为3 dB。实验观测到了较明显的激励阈值和增益饱和现象,确定了适用的量子点掺杂浓度与光纤长度之间的线性关系。所实现的QDFA的带宽、C波带增益平坦度、噪声系数等指标优于常规的掺铒光纤放大器(EDFAs),L波带增益平坦度略低于经优化的多光纤EDFAs。
Abstract
A PbS quantum-dot-doped fiber amplifier (QDFA) is realized experimentally in NIR S-C-L ultra-broad waveband and with low noise. Taking UV-gel as the optical fiber background and PbS quantum dots (QDs) as the gain medium in the fiber, we setup a full-light path structure composed of a 973 nm pumping single mode laser, an isolator, a wavelength division multiplexing and a quantum-dot-doped fiber. The broadband signal light with the range of 1470-1620 nm is amplified in an all-optical structure. There is evidence to show that the QDFA has 75 nm bandwidth around the wavelength region of 1550 nm with the switch gain of 16 dB-19 dB (the net gain of 12.26 dB-15.26 dB) for the input signal power of -23 dBm and the noise figure of about 3 dB. An obvious excitation threshold and gain saturation phenomenon are observed by the experiment. A linear relationship is determined between QD doping concentrations and fiber length. The obtained performances in the bandwidth, C-waveband gain flatness and noise figure of QDFA in this paper are better than those of the conventional erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), while the L-waveband gain flatness is a little lower than that of the optimized EDFAs.
