Compact and efficient Er-Yb-doped fiber amplifier

A compact and efficient optical amplifier is demonstrated using an erbium-ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) with a double-pass configuration. It uses only 3 m of doped fiber with 20 mW pump power. This forward-pumped amplifier achieves a maximum low signal gain of 37 dB and a corresponding noi...
