Multichannel crosstalk and pump noise in characterisation of Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped fibre amplifier pumped at 980nm

It is shown that as a consequence of the long fluorescence lifetime in an Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped fibre amplifier, interchannel crosstalk and pump-noise breakthrough are minimal for modulation frequencies > 100 kHz.
