Abstract :
Two configurations of thulium-doped fiber amplifiers (TDFA) are presented and the performance of the amplifier in these configurations is discussed. The measurements are compared with a simulation using a self-written model and compared with results reported in the literature. The problems during the design, their solutions and the possibilities to improve the amplifier operation are presented.
