Abstract
Spectral hole burning in Erbium-doped silica fiber was experimentally studied in a 100+ nm bandwidth. It was observed that the spectral holes overlap even for widely spaced saturating tones (>40 nm); thus, the conventional two-tone subtractive measurement technique cannot be used to separate the holes.
