摘要：

We constructed a gain-shifted dual-wavelength-pumped (1.05/1.56 mum) thulium-doped fiber amplifier (TDFA) for wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) signals in the 1.48-1.51-mum wavelength region, We obtained a gain of larger than 20 dB and a noise figure of less than 7 dB in the range from 1478 to 1505 nm, Amplifier saturated output power was +20.1 dBm with an optical-to-optical conversion efficiency of 9.1% for 12-channel WDM signals. We also obtained a successful bit error rate performance for signals modulated at 10 Gb/s when the gain-shifted TDFA was used in an optical preamplifier configuration. These results confirm the feasibility of using the gain-shifted TDFA as both a booster and an optical preamplifier in WDM networks.
