High spatial-density, cladding-pumped 6-Mode 7-core fiber amplifier for C-band operation

High spatial-density, cladding-pumped 6-Mode 7-core fiber amplifier for C-band operation
High spatial-density, cladding-pumped 6-Mode 7-core fiber amplifier for C-band operation
We present a C-band 6-mode 7-core fiber amplifier in an all-fiberized cladding-pumped configuration for space division multiplexed transmission supporting a record 42 spatial channels. With optimized fiber components (e.g. passively cooled pump laser diode, pump coupler, pump stripper), high power multimode pump light is coupled to the active fiber without any noticeable thermal degradation and an average gain of 18 dB and noise figure of 5.4 dB are obtained with an average differentialmodalgain of 3.4 dB.

Abstract

We present a C-band 6-mode 7-core fiber amplifier in an all-fiberized cladding-pumped configuration for space division multiplexed transmission supporting a record 42 spatial channels. With optimized fiber components (e.g. passively cooled pump laser diode, pump coupler, pump stripper), high power multimode pump light is coupled to the active fiber without any noticeable thermal degradation and an average gain of 18 dB and noise figure of 5.4 dB are obtained with an average differentialmodalgain of 3.4 dB.
