Abstract

Pr amplifier gain efficiencies for different glass hosts and loss coefficients are compared. The gain bandwidth of a sulfide-based amplifier is limited by bottlenecking in the lower level ³H₅, but can be improved by adding a second pump resonant with the ³H₅-¹G₄ transition. A hybrid sulfide/fluoride amplifier also improves the bandwidth, and gives a remarkably flat gain spectrum from 1300–1350 nm.
