Abstract
Two-dimensional (2-D) erbium (Er)-doped image fiber amplifiers (EDIFAs) wer e fabricated for the first time. The measured gain characteristics showed t he applicability of optical amplifiers to 2-D high-throughput parallel opti cal data links. Additionally, we discuss pumping methods for the EDIFAs. Is sues to achieve higher gain EDIFAs are addressed.
