Chirp-to-amplitude converter based on an erbium fiber optic amplifier for radio-photon systems control

Abstract

The article proposes the principle of converting a chirped pulse signal into an amplitude-modulated signal (within each information pulse) based on a fiber-optic erbium amplifier. The possibility of using traditional EDFA for this task is analyzed. The parameters of the erbium medium of the amplifier providing the indicated conversion are found. The parameters of the converter have been evaluated.
