    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of optical communication, and particularly to a balanced pumping L-band optical fiber amplifier comprising a first erbium-doped optical fiber, a second erbium-doped optical fiber, an absorbing erbium-doped optical fiber and at least two pumping lasers, the first erbium-doped optical fiber, the second erbium-doped optical fiber and the absorbing erbium-doped optical fiber being sequentially arranged in this order, and the at least two pumping lasers providing pumping light; wherein the first erbium-doped optical fiber and the second erbium-doped optical fiber both are injected with forward pumping light and backward pumping light, and the absorbing erbium-doped fiber is arranged downstream of the second erbium-doped optical fiber to absorb amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) generated in the amplifier. In the present invention, bidirectional pumping is applied in the first and last erbium-doped fibers in the optical path, and an erbium-doped optical fiber that has no pumping injection is added to absorb the ASE. Thus, the pumping conversion efficiency is greatly improved, the nonlinear four-wave mixing effect is reduced, and the problem that the L-band optical fiber amplifier has a high noise when utilizing the backward pumping is solved. Meanwhile, the noise figure and the manufacturing cost of the amplifier are reduced.
