基于增益动态噪声演变的掺铒光纤放大器的参数优化

Parameter optimization of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers based on gain-dynamics-dependent noise evolution

  • 摘要: 为了抑制主振荡功率放大系统(MOPA)中信号的光噪声,运用增益动力学理论,对1550 nm单频掺铒光纤放大器(EDFA)中的输入信号光功率和抽运光功率对输入信号光噪声传递特性的影响进行了实验研究,并进一步通过增益动力学很好地分析验证了光纤放大器的相对强度噪声(RIN)特性。结果表明,在残余抽运光功率和受激自发辐射(ASE)强度很低的情况下,输入信号光强度噪声传递抑制比与放大增益成正比,可以在输出功率提高的同时又明显抑制输入信号光的强度噪声传递;通过优化输入信号光和抽运光的功率,抑制了输出激光10 kHz以内的RIN,其中在频率为1 Hz~200 Hz时优化输入信号光功率实现了6 dB的抑制,在1 Hz~250 Hz时优化抽运光功率实现了10.5 dB的抑制。此研究为光纤MOPA系统的参数优化及噪声抑制提供参考。

     

    Abstract: To suppress optical noise of signals in master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) systems, an experimental study was conducted on the effects of input signal power and pump power on the transfer characteristics of optical noise of input signals in a 1550 nm single-frequency erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), based on gain dynamics theory. Furthermore, the relative intensity noise (RIN) characteristics of the fiber amplifier were analyzed and verified using gain dynamics. The results demonstrated that under the conditions of low residual pump power and minimal amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) intensity, the suppression ratio of input signal intensity noise transfer was proportional to the amplification gain. This indicated that the transfer of input signal intensity noise could be significantly suppressed while increasing the output power. By optimizing the powers of the input signal and pump, the RIN of the output laser below 10 kHz was suppressed. Specifically, a 6 dB suppression was achieved in the range of 1 Hz to 200 Hz by optimizing the input signal power, and a 10.5 dB suppression was attained in the range of 1 Hz to 250 Hz by optimizing the pump power. This study provides references for parameter optimization and noise suppression in fiber MOPA systems.
