Abstract
A gain bismuth-doped fiber amplifier at pumped by a commercial laser diode at is reported for the first time (to our knowledge). A bandwidth of about , a noise figure of , and a power conversion efficiency of about 60% are demonstrated. The temperature behavior of the gain spectrum is examined.
