Abstract

The measurement of atmospheric water vapor in the 940 nm absorption band may be accomplished using sources based on the ⁴F_3/2? ⁴I9/2 transition in Nd-doped fiber amplifiers. We report initial experimental results on the effects co-dopants have on the characteristics of this transition in Nd-doped fiber, present modeled and experimental performance of a fiber amplifier, and discuss the trade-offs in designing efficient, fiber-based amplifiers that operate in die 940 nm region.
