Large Gain and Broadband EDWAS for Metro LAN

  • Programme type: Research
  • Study location:
  • Edinburgh

Overview

There is a growing demand for EDWAs in the metro LAN sector of the network. At present, the main problems with commercial EDWAs are the low value of small-signal gain below (10-15 dB) and narrow bandwidth in the peak gain region. This research programme provides an opportunity to develop new EDWAs using the optimised modified silicate glasses, which offers a potential for developing EDWAs with gain larger than 20 dB in the C-band and amplifying bandwidth of 40 nm. This is a collaborative project between the University of Leeds, University of Lecce and THz Photonics.
