Abstract
Recent publications have improved the transmission length of repeaterless systems at 2.5 Gbit/s. To this date, fiber spans in excess of 400 km have been achieved [1]. One of the important parameters used to increase the distance of repeaterless systems or to increase the output power of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers [2] is the available power at 1480 nm. This paper deals with the demonstration of a Thulium-Doped Fluoride Fiber Laser (TDFFL), pumped with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, and which allows a high output power at 1480 nm.
