Abstract
A rhodamine-B-doped polymer optical fiber amplifier (RBDPOFA) has been successfully fabricated and tested. In this paper, all parameters affecting the gain of the RBDPOFA are recognized. The time-dependent and time-independent rate equations are solved. By using Runge–Kutta and finite-element methods, different conditions are described and fluctuations of the fiber laser are analyzed. From the time-dependent rate equations, the gain and level-density variations with time can be predicted. These fiber amplifiers have unstable conditions. In experiments, the decay of dye dopants in the high pump power regime has been observed. For example, in a high pump power rhodamine-B is converted from the zwitterion isomer to the colorless lactone isomer [1]. Therefore, for complete coincidence of theoretical and experimental results, this effect must be included in the analysis, which is however beyond the scope of this paper and will be discussed in the near future.
