摘要

A hybrid dual-stage bismuth-doped fiber and neodymium-doped fiber amplifier with high optical gain and extended bandwidth of operation in the E-band is demonstrated. The amplifier features a maximum gain of 43 dB, output power of 372 mW, and a minimum noise figure of 5.5 dB, and operation wavelength range of 1397–1472 nm, enabled by 153-m of bismuth-doped fiber and two 7-m lengths of neodymium-doped fiber. The demonstration shows the possibility of achieving improved gain bandwidth by combining fiber amplifiers with overlapping gain spectra in the E-band.
