Abstract

Scattering and reflection of transmission band power in a fiber amplifier cause increased bit-error rates through multiple path interference (MPI). We report a passive method for reducing MPI contributions from the front facet of a 980-nm fiber-Bragg-grating-stabilized pump laser by use of a ${Tm}^{3 +}$ -doped fiber pigtail between the diode facet and the fiber Bragg grating. Optical return loss in the $C$ band is reduced to below $- 30 dB$ .
