Modelling of Output Statistics of Single and ℳ-Mode Straight and Curved Er3+ : Ti:LiNbO3 Waveguide Amplifiers

Abstract EN

A theoretical analysis of some statistical parameters which characterize the Er3+-doped Ti:LiNbO3 single and ℳ-mode straight and curved waveguides is presented in this paper.

In the derivation and the evaluation of the spectral optical quality factor, the power spectral density, the Fano factor, the statistical fluctuation, and the spontaneous emission factor we used the small gain approximation, and the photon statistics master equation of the linear amplifier (considering that the photon number distribution is determined by the normalized mode intensity profiles which are not uniform in the transversal section of the waveguide), transposed to the case of straight and curved amplifiers.

The simulation results show the evolution of the above-mentioned parameters under various pump regimes and waveguide lengths.
