Sub-microsecond pulsed pumping as a means of suppressing amplified spontaneous emission in tandem pumped fiber amplifiers
We propose a new tandem pumping scheme in three-level rare-earth doped optical fibers where energy storage in a pump fiber laser enables much shorter (~500 ns) pump pulses than is possible with pulsed diode laser pumping. This has the effect of reducing the time during which the final amplifier has...
