  • Abstract
    The fiber-structure dependence of the gain characteristics of Er 3+ doped fibers pumped at 1.48 μm is analyzed. The optimum V value is derived theoretically and experimentally. For step-index fibers, the optimum V value is 1.6, which is smaller than that needed to minimize spot size. The fiber with a small V value enjoys a large Er3+ confinement effect. For laser diode pumping, an efficiency of 1.7 dB/mW is achieved at 1.536 μm. The bending characteristics are also described
