E1
Pump power injected at 980 nm causes spontaneous emission from E1
to E3 and there back to E2
Due to the indicated spontaneous emission lifetimes population
inversion (PI) obtained between E1 and E2
The higher the PI to lower the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE)
Thermalization (distribution of Er3+ atoms) and Stark splitting cause
each level to be splitted in class (not a crystal substance) -> a wide band
of amplified wavelengths
Practical amplification range 1525 nm - 1570 nm, peak around 1530 nm

Raman amplifiers can be used over all bands new (medium loss) bands are now applicable (as
S & U bands)
New fibers can reduce loss at E & S bands
(however, EDFA does not work here & Raman
gain small)

LD distortion coefficients

Let us assume that an LD transfer curve distortion can be described by
y (t )  a1 x(t )  a2 x 2 (t )  a3 x 3 (t )

where x(t) is the modulation current and y(t) is the optical power
n:the order harmonic distortion is described by the distortion

Link calculations






In order to determine repeater spacing on should calculate
– power budget
– rise-time budget
Optical power loss due to junctions, connectors and fiber
One should be able to estimate required margins with respect of
temperature, aging and stability
For rise-time budget one should take into account all the rise times in the
link (tx, fiber, rx)
If the link does not fit into specifications
– more repeaters
– change components
– change specifications
Often several design iteration turns are required

Specifications: transmission distance, data rate (BW), BER
Objectives is then to select
FIBER:
– Multimode or single mode fiber: core size, refractive index profile,
bandwidth or dispersion, attenuation, numerical aperture or modefield diameter
SOURCE:
– LED or laser diode optical source: emission wavelength, spectral
line width, output power, effective radiating area, emission pattern,
number of emitting modes
DETECTOR/RECEIVER:
– PIN or avalanche photodiode: responsivity, operating wavelength,
rise time, sensitivity
