Abstract

A study on the dynamics of gain spectral hole burning (GSHB) in a silica-based erbium-doped fiber amplifier at 77K was performed. When a saturation signal was input into an Er3+-doped fiber, a multigain spectral hole structure that consisted of nine gain spectral holes, was observed in the wavelength region from 1510to1640nm at 77K. As for the Er3+ ion concentration dependence of these gain spectral holes, the depth of the gain spectral hole at around 1530nm was found to become shallower in the silica-based erbium-doped fiber that had higher Er3+ ion content. This Er3+ ion concentration dependence of the gain spectral hole depth suggests that the contribution of the energy-transfer interaction between Er3+ ions excited to the Stark levels within the I1324 manifold plays an important role in the gain spectral hole formation at 77K. As far as we know, this is the first report of the Er3+ ion concentration effect on the GSHB in the Er3+-doped fiber. The dynamics of GSHB is discussed in relation to the effect of energy transfer between Er3+ ions. In addition, the relation between gain spectral hole structure and the Stark energy structure of Er3+ ion is also discussed.
