本論文針對非分佈式拉曼光纖放大器的設計和特性進行研究，並探討多個幫激波長架構的光放大器特性。近來由於半導體雷射的功率日漸提高，使得非分佈式拉曼光纖放大器能實際運用於光纖通信系統中，而拉曼光纖放大器具有低雜訊和任意增益頻帶配置兩項優點，在未來光纖通信系統中將擔任重要的角色。實驗和模擬架構上我們均採用後向幫激的方式，在實驗和模擬的相互印證下，得知模擬對於四個幫激波長架構有最佳的吻合度，我們得以設計出四個幫激波長架構的長波段增益平坦化非分佈式摻鉺光纖放大器。實驗結果顯示我們所設計的長波段非分佈式摻鉺光纖放大器，在1565 nm ~ 1595 nm波段中，對七個功率為-16dBm的輸入信號有良好的增益平坦度 (≦1 dB) ，而信號增益均在10 dB以上。

In this thesis, we investigate the design and amplification characteristics of discrete fiber Raman amplifier (FRA), and discuss with amplification characteristics of FRA by employing multi-pumping-wavelength configuration. Recently, because of the invention of high output power of pump laser diodes, so discrete FRA can be practically employed in optical fiber communication system. The fiber Raman amplifier has two merits. One is the low noise characteristic and the other is the arbitrary spectral gain band, so it will play an important role in optical communication system. In this study, we employ backward pumping configurations in the experiment and simulation of discrete FRA. By comparing with results of experiment and simulation, we prove that the simulation results quite agree with the experimental data of four pumping wavelengths configuration, we have successfully designed an L-band gain flattened discrete FRA by using four pumping wavelengths configuration. The experimental results showed that the amplifier, for the input of seven optical channel each with –16 dBm input power level, has an optical gain of >10 dB of each channel with good gain uniformity (<1 dB) in the 1565-1595 nm wavelength region.
