V. Morin et E. Taufflieb, HIGH OUTPUT-POWER PRASEODYMIUM-DOPED FIBER AMPLIFIER SINGLE-PUMPED AT1030 NM - ANALYSIS AND RESULTS, IEEE journal of selected topics in quantum electronics, 3(4), 1997, pp. 1112-1118
We present theoretical and experimental characterization of a high-gai
n and high-output power Pr3+-doped fluoride-fiber amplifier. A compreh
ensive theoretical analysis of the amplifier has been carried out for
the case of large signals, Thorough experimental characterization of t
he amplifier is reported, and +20-dBm output power has been obtained.
