Abstract
The spectral behavior of the amplified spontaneous emission of an ytte rbium-doped monomode fiber is described and the site-selective excitat ion tunability is explained. Then, the fiber gain is modeled, taking i nto account the fiber length and the pumping wavelength to optimize a three-level scheme room-temperature laser operation at 976 nm.
