Abstract
The efficiency, small signal gain spectrum and noise characteristics o f erbium-doped fluorozirconate fibre amplifier with a core diameter of 2.8 mum and a core-cladding refractive index difference of 40 X 10(-3 ) are described. A gain coefficient of 3.4 dB/mW for 1.488 mum pumping is obtained. Gain saturation occurs at 7 mW injected pump power. A ga in of 27 dB obtained with 14 mW injected pump power gives an efficienc y coefficient of 1.9 dB/mW in the gain saturation region.
