S-band gain and noise figure improvements in thulium-doped fiber amplifier by using macro-bending approach
A new method for gain and noise figure enhancements in S-band thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) co-doped with aluminum is demonstrated using a macro-bending approach. The macro-bending suppresses both the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) at 800 and 1,800 nm wavelength region and consequently...
