英文摘要 | An amplifier for use with fiber optic systems comprises a neodymium YAG crystal (44, Figs. 9, 12, and 13) placed in series with a signal-carrying optical fiber (12b, 54). The ND:YAG crystal (44) is supplied by the optical fiber (12b, 54, 62) with both the signal to be amplified, and pumping illumination. The pumping illumination is coupled onto the optical fiber (12b, 54, 62) by a multiplexing coupler (10b, 50, 60) which is used to combine the signal to be amplified and illumination from a pumping illumination source (42) onto the single optical fiber (12b, 54, 62). The pumping illumination inverts the neodymium ions within the ND:YAG crystal (44). The signal to be amplified propagates through this crystal (44) to stimulate emission of coherent light from the neodymium ions, resulting in amplification of the signal. Because this arrangement permits the ND:YAG crystal (44) to be end- pumped with pumping illumination, and because the length of the ND:YAG crystal (44) may be substantially greater than the absorption length for the crystal (44) at the wavelength of the pumping illumination, virtually all of the pumping illumination may be absorbed within the ND:YAG crystal (44) and used for amplification of the signal carried by the optical fiber (12b, 54, 62). |
