Abstract

We demonstrate the capability for amplification of picosecond pulses in two bismuth-doped alumosilicate fibers. A spectrally filtered supercontinuum source is used to provide a train of picosecond pulses at discrete wavelengths within the gain bandwidth of bismuth fiber amplifiers. With a 30m length of active fiber, a small signal gain at 1160nm of over 20dB is observed. In addition, we assess the viability of amplification of high repetition rate signals in such amplifiers, applying a 10GHz modulation to a continuous wave Raman fiber laser operating at 1178nm, finding that such signals are amplified without noticeable distortion.
