Abstract
Erbium Ytterbium Co-doped Fiber Amplifiers ensure optical signal amplification in fiber optic transmission systems considering the aspect of cost and energy efficiencies. Co-doping with ytterbium is more significant because of the high gain and pump efficiency achieved using high-power pump lasers coupled to the double-cladded structure of the Erbium-Ytterbium fiber. The performance of a high-power Amplifier designed with Erbium ytterbium co-doped fiber, which is pumped by a 940 nm pump laser, is analyzed and validated experimentally. The amplifier gives an output power of 3 W in the wavelength region from 1520 to 1570 nm using a single-stage design and provides an efficient, low noise amplification for long-haul optical communication networks. The performance factors of such an amplifier are detailed, and the specifications are optimized through experimental validations.
