Abstract
A remotely pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier system is described that provides a record budget improvement over a non-remotely pumped system of 11 dB for 145 mW of pump power. The improvement over previously reported experiments is a result of increased pump power as well as careful optimization of the fibers utilized.<>
