Sahu (2024) High Gain Bismuth-Doped Fiber Amplifier Operating in the E+S Band with Record Gain per Unit Length JLT 2024 Description: The excel file contains all experimental data used for generating Fig.1, Fig.3, Fig.4, Fig.5, Fig.6, Fig.7, Fig.8, and Fig.10 The figures are as follows: Fig. 1. Absorption spectra of BGSF-1, BGSF-2, and BGSF-3 (the inset represents the refractive index difference profiles). Fig. 3. Gaussian peaks fittings to the normalized absorption curve after subtracting the background loss for (a) BGSF-1, (b) BGSF-2, and (c) BGSF-3. Fig. 4. Luminescence spectra of BGSF-1, BGSF-2, and BGSF-3 (the inset represents the normalized luminescence intensity). Fig. 5. Gain and NF spectra of BGSF-1 and BGSF-2 from 1420-1480 nm for an input signal power of (a) -23 dBm and (b) -10 dBm at RT (Ppump = 681 mW; BGSF-1: L = 35 m; BGSF-2: L = 150 m). Fig. 6. Gain and NF spectra from 1410-1490 nm using 48, 35, 30, and 25.5 m of BGSF-1, for an input signal power of (a) -23 dBm and (b) -10 dBm at RT (Ppump= 475 mW for L= 48 m; Ppump= 681 mW for L= 35, 30, and 25.5 m). Fig. 7. Gain and NF variations with the pump power (maximum 681 mW) at 1440 nm using 48, 35, 30, and 25.5 m of BGSF-1 at RT, for an input signal power of (a) -23 dBm and (b) -10 dBm. Fig. 8. Gain and NF variations with the input signal power at 1440 nm using 48, 35, 30, and 25.5 m of BGSF-1 at RT (Ppump = 475 mW for L = 48 m; Ppump = 681 mW for L = 35, 30, and 25.5 m). Fig. 10. TDG coefficient spectra from 1410-1490 nm using 48, 35, 30, and 25.5 m of BGSF-1, for an input signal power of (a) -23 dBm and (b) -10 dBm (Ppump = 475 mW for L = 48 m; Ppump = 681 mW for L = 35, 30, 25.5 m).
