Abstract

The factors that influence the generation of a high-quality optical frequency comb (OFC) based on a recirculating frequency shifter (RFS) due to the maximum output power and noise figure of Er-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) are studied theoretically and experimentally. Based on the theoretical analysis, numerical simulations and experiments under different EDFA parameters have been carried out. The results show that the performance of the OFC based on a RFS can be improved effectively by optimizing the maximum output power and the noise figure of the EDFA.
