Dataset to support thesis "Development of Wideband Optical Amplifiers and Associated Technology"

Dataset supporting a doctoral thesis "Development of Wideband Optical Amplifiers and Associated Technology"

This dataset contains experimental and simulated data for the paper. The data pertains to the following figures:
Fig.1.4 Correlation between frequency bandwidth and operating wavelength (per 1nm spectral bandwidth)
Fig.3.19 (a) Calculated transmission spectra and (b) 3 dB-bandwidths of the LPFGs with
different grating lengths (for a fixed coupling strength of 60% at 1550 nm).
Fig.3.20 (a) Measured LPFG transmission spectra with different grating lengths and (b) the
impulse response of 1.25 cm-long LPFG.
Fig.3.21 Experimental mode coupling properties of the mode scrambler under pure (a) LP01,
(b) LP11a and (c) LP11b mode excitation at different loads.
Fig.5.3 The (a) gain and (b) NF spectra of the SS-YDFA.
Fig.5.4 The (a) gain and (b) NF spectra of the DS-YDFA without a GFF
Fig.5.6 (b) ASE spectra of the SS-YDFA with different fibre lengths.
Fig.5.21 (a) Simulated gain and NF spectra of the DS-YDFA without (blue line) and with a
GFF (red line); (b) the GFF spectrum used in our DS-YDFA.
Fig.5.24 (a) Measured gain and NF spectra of DS-YDFA with and without a GFF (inset:
applied GFF profile) and (b) amplified output spectra of the gain-flattened DSYDFA
under -20 dBm/ch input signal.
