Numerical modelling of ultimate spectral efficiency of information transmission in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems is carried out for the case when the noise of optical fibre amplifiers determines the system capacity. The number-state model is used for finding spectral efficiency of communication lines with erbium-doped (EDFA) and chromiumdoped fibre amplifiers (CDFA). The results obtained show that spectral efficiency of CDFA exceeds that of EDFA throughout the conventional band and approaches the "quantum limit" in a window of transparency of advanced fibres in the high pump power limit. The ultimate capacity of communication systems with CDFA is estimated to be about 300 Tbit/s.
“…The stimulated emission cross-section spectra calculated by the integral reciprocity method [12] using the radiative lifetime obtained from Judd-Offelt analysis [9] are shown in Fig.3. The highest stimulated emission cross section of about 2.1×10 -20 cm 2 is located at 1531 nm.…”
Abstract:We report efficient continuous-wave diode-pumped laser operation of Er,Yb:GdAl 3 (BO 3 ) 4 crystal. A maximal output power of 780 mW was obtained at 1531 nm at absorbed pump power of 4 W with slope efficiency of 26 %.
