Characterisation of diode-pumped erbium-doped fluorozirconate fibre optical amplifier

Abstract
The small-signal gain spectrum, noise figure and saturation characteristics of a diode-pumped erbium-doped fibre optical amplifier in a fluoride glass host are presented. The fibre was used to demonstrate power amplification of 2 Gbit/s intensity modulated data, followed by transmission over 100 km of dispersion-shifted fibre.
