Abstract
Bismuth (Bi)-doped phosphosilicate fibers have been fabricated by the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD)-solution doping technique under different process conditions. The influence of fabrication conditions on unsaturable loss in fibers has been investigated. Pump wavelength dependent Bi gain has been studied to obtain a flat gain over a wide bandwidth. A diode pumped all-fiber Bi-doped amplifier with a flat gain of from 1320–1360 nm (40 nm) has been demonstrated for of input signal power with a noise figure (NF) ranging from 4–6 dB. Moreover, a small signal gain of 29 dB and a NF of 4.5 dB at 1340 nm has been achieved for an input signal power of .
