Semiconductor Optical Amplifier Pattern Effect Suppression Using a Birefringent Fiber Loop [PDF]
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2010 The capability of a birefringent fiber loop to suppress the pattern effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier is experimentally demonstrated. The results verify that compared to direct signal amplification this scheme achieves reduced amplitude modulation, enhanced eye diagram extinction ratio, pulse reshaping, tolerance to long string of spaces, low

FIBER LOOP MIRROR FILTER WITH TWO-STAGE HIGH BIREFRINGENCE FIBERS [PDF]
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, 2009 A flber loop mirror (FLM) with two-stage high birefrin- gence (Hi-Bi) flbers is theoretically and experimentally studied for var- ious rotation angles and Hi-Bi flber lengths. The experimental spectra are observed to be in good agreement with the theoretical spectra, ver- ifying our theoretical model.
