Abstract :
A model is presented that allows to calculate parameters of a bulk solid-state optical amplifier pumped by a nearly single-mode fiber laser. More specifically, thulium ceramic amplifier is considered. It is shown that more than 10 dB single-pass amplification and more than 40% slope efficiency can be achieved in the proposed scheme.
