T. Komukai et al., 1.47-MU-M BAND TM3-MU-M UP-CONVERSION PUMPING SCHEME( DOPED FLUORIDE FIBER AMPLIFIER USING A 1.064), Electronics Letters, 29(1), 1993, pp. 110-112
A 1.47 mum band optical amplifier using Tm3+ doped fluoride fibre pump
ed by a 1.064 mum laser was demonstrated. A small signal gain of 25 dB
and a saturated output power of over +10 dBm were observed at 1.470 m
um for a pump power of 450 mW. The amplification bandwidth was approxi
mately 65 nm from 1.440 to 1.505 mum.
