Low-cost bidirectional optical amplifier using a unidirectional Er-doped fiber amplifier and a fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Abstract-An edge filter-based ratiometric wavelength measurement system is modeled and analyzed in this paper. The results confirm that the noise of input signal and photodetectors limits the resolution of the wavelength measurement system. The achievable resolution is calculated for a given noise level of the input signal and photodetectors' resolution. An improved ratiometric wavelength measurement system consisting of two fiber comb filters is presented both theoretically and experimentally, which performs coarse and fine wavelength measurements simultaneously. The resolution of the system is significantly improved to better than 5 pm while maintaining the potential for high measurement speed and wide measurable wavelength range.Index Terms-Edge filter, fiber comb filter, wavelength measurement, laser irradiation.
