Abstract: Small signal gain of fiber amplifier has been measurement using a small signal broadband light source of simple and more accurate. And through the numerical simulation for test condition and experimental results of this method are discussed. The factors influencing of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier gain has been simulation and analysis, and effect of fiber length on the gain of the test. A new method is proposed for measuring optical fiber amplifier gain spectrum.

Abstract: Implementation of pulsed-pump technique in fiber amplifier is highly useful in the situation of low repetition rate and high energy pulses operation. In this paper, the ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) dynamics simulation in a pulsed-pumped ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber amplifier is presented for the first time, which provides important guidance about optimizing the pulsed-pump mode. The simulations of ASE dynamics are carried out by solving the rate equations and light power propagation equations in fiber using the finite elements analysis method, including variations of ASE output power at two terminals of the fiber in the time span from 0 ~ 740μs after pump light injection. Furthermore, a way of optimizing signal injection time is discussed.

Abstract: Analyze the fiber amplified theory and obtain the transmission formula of pump and signal for the use of rate equation. In the experiment, take the Yb-doped double cladding fiber based on phosphor silicate as gain medium, high power single emitter in 915nm as pump source. According to gain fiber length obtained by the theory analyses, the output power achieves 20W above. Apply the cladding power stripper at the output end for stripping the remained pump power.

Abstract: Absorption and fluorescence spectra in the range from 350 to 1750 nm of several Tm3+- doped optical performs (rods) for optical fiber drawing were measured. Silica-based matrices of Al2O3-GeO2-P2O5-Sb2O3-SiO2 composition doped with several thousands ppm of Tm3+ were characterized. The preforms were fabricated by the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition and by the solution doping methods. A new method, Genetic Algorithm SPEctra Decomposition was adopted for processing of the measured absorption spectra. This decomposition made it possible to calculate the oscillator strengths of Tm3+ absorption levels. Fluorescence bands of Tm3+ at 800 nm or 1640 nm were found in fluorescence spectra measured on the preform samples when excited at 1064 nm only.
