Abstract
Simple and accurate ´figures of merit´ for doped fibre amplifiers in the 1550 nm and 1300 nm optical communications windows are presented. These provide an effective comparison of different amplifier systems and configurations. The effects of rare-earth ion, host glass, waveguide structure and pump wavelength are all included.
