We study the effect of spontaneous emission-induced coherence on population inversion in a ladder-type three-level system. We show that this kind of coherence can lead to unexpected population inversions on both of the optical transitions.

Recovery of population inversion in an erbium-doped fiber amplifier observed by temporally resolving amplified spontaneous emissions

K. Kuroda, Yuzo Yoshikuni

We report on the recovery of population inversion in a CW-pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Spontaneous emissions after the input of signal pulses were temporally resolved. The recovery time for population inversion was estimated to be a few hundred microseconds. The pump power and signal width dependences of the recovery were measured. We discuss the dependences by applying an analytical formula derived for the temporal evolution of population inversion.
