(2019) Temperature dependent gain and noise figure characteristics of O-band bismuth-doped fibre amplifier ECOC 2019 Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.2 to Fig.5 The figures are as follows: Fig. 2 (a) The gain and NF spectra of the BDFA at RT and +60, -20, -40 oC in the single pass configuration (signal power = -23 dBm, pump power = 790 mW) Fig. 2 (b) The gain and NF spectra of the BDFA at RT and +60, -20, -40 oC in the double pass configuration (signal power = -23 dBm, pump power = 790 mW) Fig. 3 Temperature dependent gain and NF at 1340 nm of the double pass BDFA (signal power = -23 dBm, pump power = 790 mW) Fig. 4 Temperature-dependent-gain coefficient from 1300 to 1360 nm of the double pass BDFA (signal power = -23 dBm, pump power = 790 mW, temperature range = -20 to +60 oC) Fig. 5 The gain and NF variation with pump power of the double pass BDFA at RT and +60, -40 oC, where the inset shows the corresponding gain coefficient (dB/mW) at -40 oC (signal power = -23 dBm, pump power = 790 mW) Date of data collection 2018-02-01 to 2019-04-15 Related projects: UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) under the “Airguide Photonics” Programme Grant (EP/P030181/1) Dataset available under a CC BY 4.0 licence Publisher: University of Southampton, U.K. Date: July 2019
