Modeling and Characterization of Cladding-Pumped Erbium-Ytterbium Co-Doped Fibers for Amplification in Communication Systems

Cladding-pumped optical fiber amplifiers are of increased interest in the context of space-division multiplexing but are known to suffer from low power efficiency. In this context, ytterbium (Yb) co-doping can be an attractive solution to improve the performance of erbium (Er) doped fiber amplifiers...
