Abstract

We will report the first demonstration of an optically cooled fiber amplifier. The fiber was made of silica, had a core doped with Yb, and was core-pumped to achieve both gain and cooling in the core via anti-Stokes fluorescence. Gains larger than 10 dB were measured while maintaining a negative average temperature change along the fiber.
