ASE Suppression in Backward-Pumped Er/Yb Double-Cladding Fiber Amplifier via Cladding Feedback

We demonstrate a backward-pumped 1550 nm narrow-linewidth Erbium-Ytterbium double-cladding fiber amplifier with amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) suppression. Compared with the typical backward-pumped amplifier without feedback, the ASE power can be suppressed by over 2 dB by cladding feedback wi...
