High-gain fibre power amplifier tandem-pumped by a 3W multi-stripe diode

Abstract

An Nd3+-doped compound-glass fibre laser pumped by a 3W AlGaAs laser diode array is employed as pump source for an Er3+/Yb3+ optical fibre power amplifier. An amplifier gain of 45dB and output signal powers in excess of +20dBm are demonstrated
