In this paper, Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifiers (EYDFAs) with an Yb-band fiber Bragg grating (FBG) at the pump
end to improve the performance of the amplifier is systematically studied. The influence of the reflectivity and
center wavelength of the FBG along with the gain-fiber length on the performance of an EYDFA are numerically
analyzed. The results show that the wavelength of the FBG has critical influence on the efficiency of the EYDFA,
whereas the requirement to its reflectivity is relaxed. It is an effective and promising way to improve the efficiency
of a high-power pumped EYDFA by introducing a suitable Yb-band FBG at the pump end. Based on the analysis of
the underlying principles, suggestions for the practical design and possible further improvement strategies are also
proposed. © 2016 Chinese Laser Press

1. INTRODUCTION
In high-power pumped Er/Yb co-doped fiber amplifiers
(EYDFAs) and lasers, the Yb-band amplified spontaneous
emission (ASE) and the resulting parasitic lasing or self-puls-
ing has been well-recognized as a main obstacle to their effi-
ciency improving and power scaling [1–3]. In our previous
work, we revealed, based on numerical simulations, that
the Yb-band ASE can be effectively suppressed by the stimu-
lated amplification and reabsorption of an actively introduced
co-pump propagating auxiliary Yb-band signal at proper
wavelength [4,5]. In [5], we systematically investigated the
influences of the wavelength and power of the auxiliary signal,
the fiber length, and the pump power on the efficiency of an
EYDFA. The effectiveness of this method has been experi-
mentally well established in several different schemes [6–11].
Recently, we experimentally demonstrated that the same pur-
pose can be accomplished in an improved way by introducing
a high-reflection Yb-band fiber Bragg grating (FBG) at the
pump-end of an EYDFA to passively autogenerate an appro-
priate auxiliary signal as the pump power increases to certain
extent [12]. Compared with the active scheme, the passive
scheme is more compact, cost-effective, and truly compatible
with the double-clad gain fibers commonly used in a high-
power EYDFA.
In this paper, high-power pumped EYDFAs with an Yb-band
FBG at the pump end are numerically optimized. The influ-
ence of the center wavelength and reflectivity of the FBG on
the performance of an EYDFA is systematically analyzed. The
results show that, although the higher the better, the require-
ment to the reflectivity of the Yb-band FBG is quite lenient. A
reflectivity of about 3 dB is usually sufficient. Whereas the
center wavelength of the FBG has a crucial influence on the
performance of the EYDFA, it not only influences the avail-
able power or efficiency of the amplifier but also determines
the optimal fiber length and the undesirable residual power
of the autogenerated adding signal at the output end of the
EYDFA. Furthermore, it can even only have negative influ-
ence on the efficiency of the EYDFA if it is not properly
selected.
2. NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND
ANALYSIS
A diagram of the typical configuration of an EYDFA with a
pump-end Yb-band FBG is shown in Fig. 1. The to-be-amplified
1.5 μm band signal can come from a discrete seed source or a
pre-stage EYDFA. In the simulations, it is assumed to be a
100 mW continuous wave laser at 1550 nm. High-power laser
diodes at ∼976 or 915 nm are commonly used as the pump to
an EYDFA. In either cases, the Yb-ASE problem will eventu-
ally occur with the increase of the pump power [4]. To facili-
tate the comparison with the recently reported experimental
results [12], we assume that the pump is at 976 nm with a
total power of 16.5 W. For the same reason, the gain fiber
is assumed to be the CorActive DCF-EY-10/128. The doping
concentrations of Yb

and Er

are 4.1461259 × 10

, respectively. The cross-relaxation
coefficient between Yb and Er ions is 1.55 × 10

∕s
(determined by fitting to experimental results). The Yb and
Er cross sections of the fiber are shown in Fig. 2. The emission
cross sections have been slightly smoothed, based on the
manufacturer provided sections [4], by fitting the simulated
ASE spectra to the experimentally measured ones. Then, the
absorption cross sections are calculated by the McCumber
theory [13]. In the simulation, the Yb- and Er-band ASE in the
respective spectral ranges of 1000–1100 and 1500–1600 nm are
sliced into discrete channels with a wavelength step of 1 nm.
The underlying theoretical model and numerical methods
have been detailed in our previous work [14].
