The Role of the Soliton Self Frequency Shift in the Amplification of Femtosecond Fundamental Solitons Using Er Doped Fibers,

Abstract

Recently there has been considerable interest in the amplification of solitons with the use of Er-doped fiber amplifiers because of their possible application in long distance optical communication systems. Among the many advantages of this type of active fiber are the high gain (> 30 dB) in the 1500 nm region, the wide gain bandwidth (in the order of 30 nm), the polarization independent gain and the high saturation output power.
