In present research, Aeff parameter measurements for ytterbium and erbium doped optical fibers were performed experimentally by the usage of transverse shift measurement method. All the measurements were done at two different wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm accordingly) at various power levels with an aim to evaluate how effective area depends on those parameters. With the increase of a step size the higher peak of power values for Erbium fiber are distributed in range of -30 dBm while for Ytterbium doped fibers around -20 dBm. Obtained results have been analyzed and compared with an aim to estimate the characteristics for both doped fiber types.

Keywords
