Optical fiber amplifier with periodic gain and refractive-index corrugations

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An optical fiber amplifier is proposed in which both the gain and refractive index are corrugated in the shape of a periodic square function along a longitudinal direction. Amplifying characteristics are numerically investigated for both continuous and pulsed waves as a typical example of a multimode optical fiber. As a result, choosing both corrugation periods close to the Bragg reflection condition and the fiber length leads to a unique amplifier that has various features such as high gain, frequency selectivity, and rejection of mode dispersion.
