(2023) Extending L-Band Gain to 1628 nm Using Phospho-Alumino-Silicate Erbium-Doped Fibre Pumped by 1480 nm Laser Diodes ECOC 2023 Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.2, Fig.3, and Fig.4. The figures are as follows: Fig. 2 The gain and NF spectra for 85 m of EDF-a and 40 m of EDF-b, respectively, using 950 mW of the total pump power at 1480 nm and -25 dBm of the input signal power. Fig. 3 The gain and NF variations with the pump power at 1600 nm, 1625 nm, 1628 nm for (a) EDF-a and (b) EDF-b. Fig. 4 The gain and NF variations with the signal power at 1600 nm, 1625 nm, 1628 nm for (a) EDF-a and (b) EDF-b.
