Suppression of ASE by Using Pulsed-Pumped Technique in Fiber Amplifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

Implementation of pulsed-pump technique in fiber amplifier is highly useful in the situation of low repetition rate and high energy pulses operation. In this paper, the ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) dynamics simulation in a pulsed-pumped ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier is presented for the first time, which provides important guidance about optimizing the pulsed-pump mode. The simulations of ASE dynamics are carried out by solving the rate equations and light power propagation equations in fiber using the finite elements analysis method, including variations of ASE output power at two terminals of the fiber in the time span from 0 ~ 740μs after pump light injection. Furthermore, a way of optimizing signal injection time is discussed.
