Abstract :
The authors have constructed a Pr3+-doped fluoride amplifier (PDFA) module pumped by an Nd-YLF laser. The maximum signal gain and noise figure were 20 dB and 5 dB respectively. An output power of 19.2 dBm was achieved at an input signal power of 11.0 dBm. It was confirmed that this PDFA module has low-noise characteristics from experimental results on its use in a subcarrier multiplexed multichannel AM-VSB video signal transmission
