abstract = "The in-situ radiation-induced degradation and recovery of the output optical power of actively pumped erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, during and after radiation exposure, has been studied to improve their radiation tolerance in the space environment. Significant progress has been made using nanoparticle doping and by incorporating specific dopants to reduce Er ion clustering and improve efficiency. Statistical kinetics modeling has been used to predict on-orbit performance.",
