An efficient erbium-doped fiber amplifier providing gains from +25 to +37 dB with pump powers at {Sigma} = 1.49 {mu}m in the 11--54-mW range is described. Corresponding saturation output powers of +2.5 to +11 dBm were achieved. A maximum gain coefficient of 2.1{plus minus}0.1 dB/mW was measured, which is to our knowledge the highest value reported for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers pumped near {lambda}=1.49 {mu}m matches previously reported results for a {lambda}=980-nm pump.
