High-power erbium-doped-fiber amplifiers operating in the saturated regime

It is shown that highly saturated, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) can be employed as efficient power amplifiers. Differential pump-to-signal conversion efficiencies of 59% (quantum efficiency of 93%) can be obtained, resulting in 54 mW (+17.3 dBm) of amplified signal for only 100 mW of pump p...
