Abstract
Few-mode fiber amplifier is widely under study to overcome the issue of internet traffic in optical communication. This article proposes annulus core few-mode erbium doped fiber (FM-EDF) with annulus or extra annulus doping for amplification of the LP01, LP11, LP21, and LP31 signal mode groups with low differential modal gain (DMG). Our simulations confirm that extra annulus doping helps in reducing DMG of higher order mode groups. We have achieved less than 2.2 dB DMG over C-band for 4-mode groups using extra annulus doping. The proposed EDF would be useful for space division multiplexing (SDM) based optical fiber communication system.
