(2020) Broadband bismuth-doped fiber amplifier with a record 115-nm bandwidth in the O and E bands OFC 2020 Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.2 to Fig.3 The figures are as follows: Fig. 2 (a) Gain and NF spectrum from 1345nm-1460nm for a fixed signal power of -23dBm (the inset shows the signal and noise spectrum from which the in-band OSNR is derived); Fig. 2 (b) Gain and NF variation with pump power for a -23dBm signal at 1420nm (where the slope of the dashed line represents the gain coefficient); Fig. 2 (c) Gain and NF variation with signal power at 1420nm. Fig. 3 (a) Temperature dependent gain and NF characteristics from 1350nm-1460nm in the temperature range from -40 to +60 degreeC for a signal power of -23dBm; Fig. 3 (b) Gain and NF from -40 to +60 degreeC at 1420nm for -23dBm signal (where the slope of dashed line represents the TDG coefficient).
