Description:
The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.2 to Fig.12, Fig.15 and Fig.19.

The figures are as follows:

Fig. 2  Main pump wavelengths and luminescence bands of major Bi-doped silica-based fibers within different glass hosts that are commonly used in Bi-doped fiber amplifiers.

Fig. 3  Absorption spectrum of BASF, BPSF and BGSF samples. The inset shows the detailed absorption from 800 nm to 1600 nm. 

Fig. 4  Unsaturable loss of BASF, BPSF and BGSF samples measured at their pump wavelengths (BASF - 1047 nm, 1120 nm; BPSF - 1240 nm; BGSF - 1270 nm, 1310 nm, 1432 nm). The inset shows a typical UL measurement of a BPSF sample.

Fig. 5  Fluorescence spectra of BASF sample.

Fig. 6  Fluorescence spectra of BPSF sample.

Fig. 7  Fluorescence spectra of BGSF sample.

Fig. 8  Refractive index profile and Bi2O3 and P2O5 distribution of BPSF-1.

Fig. 9  Saturation fluorescence measurement of BPSF sample. The inset shows the obtained saturation pump power Psat.

Fig. 10 Absorption cross-sections measured by saturation fluorescence method for BPSF-1, 2 and 3 at pump wavelengths of 1200 nm, 1267 nm and 1310 nm. The scatter represents the measured absorption cross-section data by the saturation fluorescence method. The dashed lines are the absorption cross-section spectrum predicted using Gaussian curve fitting.

Fig. 11 Emission cross-section spectrum calculated by FL equation for BPSF sample.

Fig. 12 Maximum gain and 3-dB bandwidth with the corresponding peak gain wavelength of Bi-doped fiber amplifiers operating in the O-band (1260-1360 nm).

Fig. 15 Maximum gain and 3-dB bandwidth with the corresponding peak gain wavelength of Bi-doped fiber amplifiers operating in the wavelength band from 1300-1500 nm.

Fig. 19 Gain and NF spectrum of E+S-band BDFA for a signal power of -10 dBm.
