Abstract

A praseodymium (Pr)-doped fluoride fiber amplifier (PDFA) module that is pumped by strained quantum-well InGaAs laser diodes (LDs) is described. The amplifier module, consisting of a four LD pump configuration and a high NA Pr-doped fluoride fiber with low scattering loss, exhibits a maximum signal gain of 28.3 dB and a saturation output power of 6 dBm at a signal wavelength of 1.30 mu m. It is shown to be the most promising module for the 1.3- mu m-band optical amplifier. >
