Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A polarization-maintaining erbium-doped fiber (PM-EDF) based on the PANDA (Polarization-maintaining AND Absorption-reducing) type fiber technology has been developed as an amplification medium of a polarization-maintaining optical amplifier for 1550nm band. The carefully designed PM-EDF amplifies the optical signal with a high gain and low noise figure, keeping the state of polarization through the fiber. The amplification performance of the newly developed PM-EDF is the same as that of the conventional erbium doped amplifiers except the polarization characteristics. The achieved characteristics are 35dB gain for small signal, 4.8dB noise figure, 70% slope efficiency, 30dB of polarization extinction ratio even in a fiber coil of 15mm in diameter. Polarization hole burning is also reported.
