S-Band Gain Improvement Using a Thulium–Aluminum Co-Doped Photonic Crystal Fiber Amplifier

An extended method for gain and noise figure enhancement in the S-band using a thulium-doped photonic crystal fiber amplifier (TD-PCFA) is proposed and shown by numerical simulation. The principle behind the enhancement is the suppression of unwanted amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) using the PC...
