Fibre Based Pump Sources for Ultra-fast Transmission

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking University of Southampton as follows: The contractor will develop pumped fiber lasers for ultra-broadband amplifiers and demonstrate an all-fiber amplifier with low nonlinearity. The research objectives are: (1) to explore feasibility of an Yb-doped fiber laser operating at 975 nm and demonstrate a compact 1 W fiber laser. The effort will involve developing a high power cladding pumped Yb doped fiber laser operating at 975 nm ; (2) to use the developed 975 nanometer fiber laser as a pump source for a low nonlinearity, broadband, and Erbium-doped optical amplifier.
