26 dBm output power from an engineered cladding-pumped ytterbium-free EDFA for L-band WDM applications

A +26 dBm cladding-pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) has been achieved without ytterbium codoping by matching the wavelength of the multimode pump with the Er absorption spectrum. The all-silica double-clad EDFA provides attractive performance when pumped by only one or two multimode source...

The all-silica double-clad EDFA provides attractive performance when pumped by only one or two multimode sources.
