The output performance of the spaceborne fiber amplifier will degrade when exposed to radiation in aerospace environment. In this work, we have proposed a two-stage erbium-ytterbium-co-doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) and studied the degradation performance under irradiation and recovery through the an...
