Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) have become major key components for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) in optical fiber communication systems. Recently, an L-band EDFA have gain popularity to extend optical bandwidth level in such a system. It operates in a relatively low population inversion that a total positive gain can be achieved in L-band signals level while energy absorption occurs at the conventional band. Therefore, pump power efficiency has become major issues in L band EDFA to obtain high gain and low noise figure (NF). In this research we have developed high stability and accuracy circuits using high end technology components to maximize power pumping level that is used for laser diode pumping and power meter. We used forward pumping scheme by using simple single pump structure with 980 nm pump laser into short length L band EDFA. In this experiment we have used L band EDFA with the length of 13.5 meters, the purpose is to get short length L band with efficient pumping power and to get good gain output at several pumping and signal power. The experimental results then fitted with theoretical analysis to determine performances of overall EDFA system. The performance parameter such as gain, NF and output power was taken at L band ITU wavelength standard with four different laser diode pumping powers of 53.6 mW, 61.1 mW, 64.83 mW and 68.25 mW respectively. An input signal power ranging was of -20 dBm, -15dBm, -10 dBm and -5 dBm respectively.

Keywords: High stability laser diode pumping circuitry, optical amplifier, noise figure, EDFA L- band.

1. INTRODUCTION and bidirectional pumping 2,3. System design based EDFA optical reinforcement consists of four parts, namely the Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) passive optical component, active optical component, technology is a key technology for the future generation system microcontroller and the high regulated power of optical network where it is directly connected to high supply4. performance network routers. One of the main components is EDFA that play an important role to Figure 1 shows a configuration lay out of EDFA enhance optical output in optical network performances. experimental setting. Therefore designing of an optical amplifier can directly affect the high performance of an optical system. Optical amplification using EDFA is quite common on long distance communication systems. Previously long wavelength EDFA i.e. L band EDFA has attracted much intention and played a major role in extending optical bandwidth from previous C band structure. Similar to those C band structures, L band can also be configured using single pump scheme but with more pumping power required to get similar gain as that in C band. Therefore, pumping scheme has become major issues in L band EDFA to obtain high gain and low NF as well as pump power efficiency 1. In this paper we demonstrate a simple single pump structure with 980 nm pump laser and short Figure 1. Configuration layout of EDFA experimental L band EDFA. setting.
