Abstract :
The amplification characteristics of a high Tm3+ concentration gain-shifted Tm-doped fluoride fibre amplifier (GS-TDFA) have been determined with a high input signal power. This GS-TDFA achieved the highest reported internal power conversion efficiency of 70% with a double pass configuration
