Abstract
An ultra-wideband amplification utilizing a proposed O shape-hybrid fiber amplifier (OS-HFA) is experimentally demonstrated. Raman fiber amplifier (RFA) is combined with erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) within a simple design. Low power of 50 mW with standard 1,480 nm pump unit that achieves gain in conventional (C)-band is used with EDFA while 750 and 500 mW of pump power units of 1,410 and 1,495 nm, respectively, are used for RFA. These two pump unit wavelengths are used to achieve peak gain at S and L band regions. A 103 nm flatness gain bandwidth from 1,515 to 1,618 nm and average gain of 27 dB is obtained at −30 dBm input power. While wider flatness gain bandwidth of 107 nm from 1,515 to 1,622 nm and an average gain of 17 dB are achieved at large input signal of −5 dBm.
