(2019) Study on the temperature dependent characteristics of O-band bismuth-doped fiber amplifier. Optics Letters Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.2 to Fig.7 The figures are as follows: Fig. 2 (a). Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics of BDF-1 in the single pass BDFA for -10 dBm signal powers (fiber length = 210 m, total launched pump power = 771 mW) Fig. 2 (b). Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics of BDF-1 in the single pass BDFA for -23 dBm signal powers (fiber length = 210 m, total launched pump power = 771 mW) Fig. 3 (a). Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics of BDF-1 in the double pass BDFA for -10 dBm signal powers (fiber length = 210 m, total launched pump power = 771 mW) Fig. 3 (b). Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics of BDF-1 in the double pass BDFA for -23 dBm signal powers (fiber length = 210 m, total launched pump power = 771 mW) Fig. 4. The gain and NF variation with pump power of BDF-1 in the double pass BDFA at +20 and -60 ºC (fiber length = 210 m) Fig. 5. The gain and NF variation with signal power of BDF-1 in the double pass BDFA at +20 and -60 ºC (fiber length = 210 m) Fig. 6 (a). Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics of BDF-2 (fiber length = 240 m) in the double pass BDFA for a signal power of -10 dBm Fig. 6 (b). Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics of BDF-3 (fiber length = 300 m) in the double pass BDFA for a signal power of -10 dBm Fig. 7. The gain and NF variation with temperature of BDF-1, BDF-2, BDF-3 at 1330 nm, in the double pass BDFA for a signal power of -10 dBm. The dashed lines were used to calculate the TDG coefficient (dB/ºC).
