Abstract
We present the design and experimental and simulated results for a 2050 nm band fiber amplifier with high optical-optical slope efficiency and low ion pairing, using a novel high performance single clad Ho-doped fiber from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). We report a measured optical-optical slope efficiency of 57% using 1 mW input signal power and 1860 nm pumping which we believe is the highest slope efficiency measured to date for a single clad copumped HDFA. This efficiency is linked to a low ion pairing coefficient of 4% in the doped fiber derived from our data.
