A new design of an S-band Thulium-doped modified Silica fiber co-doped with aluminum is presented. The design goal is high gain and low noise figure in the wavelength range of 1450 - 1520 nm. The optimization considers design parameters such as the cut-off wavelength, dopant concentration, waveguide...
