-
Abstract
In order to further improve the performance index of second-order Raman fiber amplifier, the main parameters of second-order RFA were analyzed. First, a structural model that can be controlled by optical switches and switched between two modes of traditional second-order and traditional first-order RFA is designed. It is proved through simulation that second-order RFA can increase the system gain and improve noise performance. The gain performance of first-order RFA is optimized. The optimization goal is to reduce the flatness. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the configuration of the wavelength and power of the pump light. After further structural improvement, a second-order RFA with a gain of 24.50 dB and a gain flatness of 0.98 dB were achieved in a 100 nm bandwidth. These results provide a reference for the design of second-order RFA with better performance in the future.-

Overview
Overview: With its own advantages, RFA has gradually occupied an increasingly important position in the optical fiber communication systems. The current research on RFA is still focused on traditional first-order RFA. During the continuous development of optical amplifier technology, the performance of other types of optical amplifiers has also in the gradual improvement. Facing such a competitive trend, people's eyes are gradually turning to higher-order Raman amplifiers. In the high-level, people first put research hotspots into the second-order RFA research and development, and experiments. How to increase the output bandwidth of RFA and reduce its gain flatness is an important problem to be solved by current amplifiers. In this paper, a second-order forward multi-pumped FRA is used, and pumps with different wavelengths have different gain peak amplification for different frequency signals, so as to achieve amplification of the entire band of signal light. First, it is proved through simulation that the second-order RFA can increase the system's gain and improve the noise performance of the system. Then, the second-order RFA's gain performance is optimized. The output gain and gain flatness are taken as the optimization goals within the 100 nm bandwidth. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to optimize the configuration of the wavelength and power of the pump light, so that the first- and second-order pump light interact to realize the multi-pump technology to reduce the flatness and improve the performance of the second-order RFA. In the analysis of the optimization results of the particle swarm optimization algorithm, a simpler and more efficient second-order RFA structure is given through the data summary and comparison, and the structure optimization of the second-order RFA is realized. In the optimized structure, the optimal configuration of the pump light wavelength and power of the second-order RFA is also given through continuous search and optimization of the algorithm. In addition, a single second-order pump and five first-order pumps used in the 100 nm bandwidth realized the second-order RFA with gain of 24.50 dB and gain flatness of 0.98 dB, which proved the effectiveness of the particle swarm optimization algorithm in optimizing the gain performance of the second-order RFA. Finally, the effect of the number of pump light on the performance of the second-order RFA is analyzed. It is concluded that the number of first-order pump light has a great effect on improving the flatness of the gain. These results provide a reference for the design of the second-order RFA with better performance in the future.
