	%X In this paper, a fibre laser at 546 nm has been studied
for a signal power of -30 dB. Er3+-doped ZBLAN fibre has been used
by upconversion pumping of a 980 nm laser diode. Gain saturation
effect has been investigated in detail. Laser performance has also been
discussed. An efficiency of 35% has been calculated with a length of 5
mm fibre laser. Results show that Er3+-doped ZBLAN is a promising
candidate for optical amplification at 546 nm.
