This paper compares the results of experimental and theoretical studies made by the authors on high-concentration erbiumdoped fiber lasers. The studies ha¨e been made for three resonator configurations. The theoretical studies and simulations take into account both signal up-con¨ersion losses and pu
A modeling of an all-fiber self-Q-switched Erbium laser is developed, implying that the mechanism of self-Q-switching is the power-dependent thermo-induced lensing in Erbium fiber that stems from the excited-state absorption at the laser wavelength.
## lhe combined effects of upconversion and pump excited state absorption losses on the gain from co-and contmdirectwnallypumped erbium-doped fiber amplifiers have been studied qerimentully and simulated numerically. Our results indicate that for all fiber lengths, contradirectional gain is higher
