Abstract
A multimode interference coupler is proposed for pumping two erbium-doped w
aveguide amplifiers from a single 980 nm pump channel. Simulations predict
that a device less than 2500 mum long can be made with signal and pump powe
r losses of 0.28 dB and 0.63 dB respectively. The calculated 1 dB excess lo
ss bandwidth of the device is 57 nm. (C) 2001 Optical Society of America.
