Chapter 3 Optical DevicesAmplifiers, RegeneratorsErbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) Length of fiber: core doped with (rare earth) erbium ions Er3 Fiber is pumped with a laser at 980 nm or 1480nm. Pump is coupled (in- and out-) using a λ-selective coupler An isolator is placed at the end to avoid reflections (else this may willconvert into a laser!)An EDFA amplifier consists of an erbium-doped silica fiber, an optical pump, a couplerand isolators at both endsSep 2012Sharif University of Technology9

Chapter 3 Optical DevicesAmplifiers, RegeneratorsEDFA Operation (1 of 2) When Er3 ions introduced in silica, electrons disperse into an energyband around the lines E1, E2, E3 (Stark splitting) Within each band, the ion distribution is non-uniform (thermalization) Due to these effects, a large λ range (50 nm) can be simultaneouslyamplified & luckily it is in the 1530nm range 980 nm or 1480nm pumps are used to create a population inversionbetween E2 and E1 980 nm pump E1 E3 (absorption) & E3 E2 (spontaneousemission) 1480 nm pump E1 E2 (absorption, less efficient) Lifetime in E3 is 1µs, whereas in E2 it is 10msSep 2012Sharif University of Technology11

This distribution ofenergy is called a “Fermi-Dirac Distribution”.Sep 2012Sharif University of Technology12

In Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM), abrasive particles are made to impinge on the work material at a high velocity. The jet of abrasive particles is carried by carrier gas or air. High velocity stream of abrasive is generated by converting the pressure energy of the carrier gas or air to its kinetic energy and hence high velocity jet. Nozzle directs the abrasive jet in a controlled manner onto .
