Slowdown of The Group Velocity in Tm3+-doped Optical Fiber
According to the transition rates equation of the ground state population and the propagation equation
the numerical model of the group velocity slowdown was established. The relationship between the gain and pump power was analysized. In the absorption area of Tm
3+
-dopedoptical fiber
the oscillation leads the pulse to experience absorption saturation
and the propagation delays. In the gain area of Tm
3+
-doped optical fiber
this effect induces the pulse to experience gain saturation
and the propagation is in advance. According to the theoretical calculation
the group velocity slowdown is tunable due to coherent population oscillation in the Tm
3+
-doped optical fiber amplifier at room temperature.
