Gain and noise figure variations of an EDFA for pump wavelengths between 1460 and 1510nm
Gain and noise figure variations of an EDFA for pump wavelengths between 1460 and 1510nm
Recently, 978nm diode pumping of an erbium doped fiber amplifier has produced the highest gain coefficient of 3.9 dB/mW. However, pumping with 1.48-µm laser diodes: is also important because of the more mature technology for fabricating high power InGaAsP laser diodes. High optical gain is generally desirable, but a low noise figure is also important for use as a preamplifier. To optimize the amplifier performance and compare with 978-nm pumping, we measured the gain and noise characteristic of an erbium doped fiber amplifier for pump wavelengths between 1460 and 1510 nm.

Abstract
Recently, 978nm diode pumping of an erbium doped fiber amplifier has produced the highest gain coefficient of 3.9 dB/mW. However, pumping with 1.48-µm laser diodes: is also important because of the more mature technology for fabricating high power InGaAsP laser diodes. High optical gain is generally desirable, but a low noise figure is also important for use as a preamplifier. To optimize the amplifier performance and compare with 978-nm pumping, we measured the gain and noise characteristic of an erbium doped fiber amplifier for pump wavelengths between 1460 and 1510 nm.
