Proposal for an Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped chalcogenide glass fiber upconversion laser operating at 980nm and pumped at 1480nm

We propose a novel fiber upconversion laser operating at 980 nm and pumped at 1480 nm, which will allow remote optical pumping of erbium-doped optical amplifiers. From the measured spectroscopy, we show Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped gallium lanthanum sulphide glass to be a potential host for suc...

520 |a We propose a novel fiber upconversion laser operating at 980 nm and pumped at 1480 nm, which will allow remote optical pumping of erbium-doped optical amplifiers. From the measured spectroscopy, we show Er<sup>3+</sup>-doped gallium lanthanum sulphide glass to be a potential host for such a 1480nm/980nm upconversion laser. The small-signal gain is analyzed numerically and the lasing possibilities are discussed.
