Abstract :
By means of back to back BER analysis, we have compared 2 amplifiers (using ring doping and conventional core doping) having similar performance in terms of gain, output power and noise figure. Amplification of the signal out of the fiber core like in the ring-doping technique does not impair the BER measurement nor add penalty to the analysis. We can conclude that this type of fiber can be used in amplifiers for the future high-bit rate WDM systems.
