Design and Simulation of Dynamic Gain Equalizer Based on Holographic Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal Volume Grating
The characteristics of polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) and holographic polymer dispersed liquid crystal (H-PDLC) volume grating are introduced. Based on the novel H-PDLC volume gratings, series-connecting dynamic gain equalizer design is provided. Furthermore, simulations are made about wavelength selectivity of H-PDLC grating at 1550 nm and the function of H-PDLC dynamic gain equalizer. The calculation results show that when suitable grating parameters of H-PDLC are selected, half spectral width of grating is about 10 nm at central wavelength of 1550 nm. And the fluctuation of spontaneous emission spectra of erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) can decrease from 3.3 dB to 0.1 dB within 1530 nm to 1560 nm based on H-PDLC dynamic gain equalizer.
