Optical Amplifiers Based on Vibronic Transitions for Broadband Telecommunications

Abstract

The aim of this multidisciplinary research project is to investigate and develop compact and cost effective broadband optical amplifiers that operate in 1.3 microns wavelength band. Our approach is based on vibronic solid state laser materials that are used to fabricate guided-wave structures to optimize the high intensity optical interaction distance in the crystals. The successful outcome of this program could lead to a competitive optical network system operating at 1.3 microns that would complement future 1.55 microns optical networks.
