With space-division multiplexing receiving increased attention as a method to exceed bandwidth limitations, compatible schemes for efficient amplification become necessary. Erbium (Er3+) and Ytterbium (Yb3+) co-doping is considered an effective approach for increasing pump power conversion efficiency of cladding-pumped optical amplifiers. The Yb3+ ions absorb pump radiation and then resonantly transfer a portion of their energy to Er3+ for signal amplification. With the investigation into the effect of various design specifications (e.g., fibre length, pump power, and propagation direction) on amplifier characteristics and their wavelength dependence, our research is dedicated to identifying such a cladding-pumped Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped fibre amplifier configuration based on experimentally extracted fibre parameters that provide high, uniform gain with a low noise figure in the optical C-band.
