(2022) Extending L-Band Gain to 1625 nm Using Er3+:Yb3+ Co-Doped Silica Fibre Pumped by 1480 nm Laser Diodes ECOC 2022 Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.1, Fig.3, Fig.4 and Fig.5 The figures are as follows: Fig. 1 The absorption coefficient variation with the launched power at 1480 nm, where the inset shows the small-signal absorption coefficient spectrum measured by the WLS. Fig. 3 The gain and NF spectra for 18 m of EYDF using 811 mW of pump power at 1480 nm for the multi-channel and single-channel input signals, respectively. Fig. 4 (a) The multi-channel gain and NF spectra using different pump powers, where the inset shows the gain and NF variation at 1600 and 1616 nm. The slope of the dashed line which intersects the origin was illustrated; Fig. 4 (b) The single-channel gain and NF variation with the pump power at 1600 and 1625 nm, where the insets show the gain and NF variation with the TLS signal power at 1600 and 1625nm. Fig. 5 The temperature-dependent gain coefficient spectrum for the multi-channel signal, where the inset shows the gain and NF variation with the temperature at 1616 nm.
