Semiconductor optical amplifier

Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are amplifiers which use a semiconductor to provide the gain medium. These amplifiers have a similar structure to Fabry–Pérot laser diodes but with anti-reflection design elements at the end faces. Recent designs include anti-reflective coatings and tilted wave guide and window regions which can reduce end face reflection to less than 0.001%. Since this creates a loss of power from the cavity which is greater than the gain, it prevents the amplifier from acting as a laser. Another type of SOA consists of two regions. One part has a structure of a Fabry-Pérot laser diode and the other has a tapered geometry in order to reduce the power density on the output facet. Semiconductor optical amplifiers are typically made from group III-V compound semiconductors such as GaAs/AlGaAs, InP/InGaAs, InP/InGaAsP and InP/InAlGaAs, though any direct band gap semiconductors such as II-VI could conceivably be used. Such amplifiers are often used in telecommunicati...

7)71st Republic Day 2020 highlights| Beating retreat ceremony at Attari-Wagah border on Republic Day

India Republic Day -- India celebrates their 71st Republic Day these days. On this day in 1950the Constitution of China came into force. The Republic Day paradewhich is considered as the main attraction of the days celebrationwas held along Rajpath. It was a 90-minute function. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was the chief guest with the parade. Before the parade startedPrime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute at the Countrywide War Memorial and Us president Ram Nath Kovind unfurled the national flag in conjunction with General Manoj Mukund NaravaneChief of the Army Staff membersAdmiral Karambir SinghMain of the Naval StaffMarshal Rakesh Kumar Singh BhadauriaChief of the Air Staff members. 5 41 PM WIRD PM Narendra Modi arrives at Rashtrapati Bhawan for At home reception hosted by means of President Ram Nath Kovind. 5 12 pm WIRD Beating retreat ceremony on Attari-Wagah border on Republic Day. 4 36 pm IST Air India Markets 30000 National Red flags To Passengers On Republic Da...

Raman amplifier

In a Raman amplifier, the signal is intensified by Raman amplification. Unlike the EDFA and SOA the amplification effect is achieved by a nonlinear interaction between the signal and a pump laser within an optical fiber. There are two types of Raman amplifier: distributed and lumped. A distributed Raman amplifier is one in which the transmission fiber is utilised as the gain medium by multiplexing a pump wavelength with signal wavelength, while a lumped Raman amplifier utilises a dedicated, shorter length of fiber to provide amplification. In the case of a lumped Raman amplifier, a highly nonlinear fiber with a small core is utilised to increase the interaction between signal and pump wavelengths, and thereby reduce the length of fiber required. The pump light may be coupled into the transmission fiber in the same direction as the signal (co-directional pumping), in the opposite direction (contra-directional pumping) or both. Contra-directional pumping is more common as the transfer of...
