Spectral gain hole-burning at {lambda}{sub 0} = 1.53 {mu}m was observed in an erbium-doped fiber amplifier at temperatures between 4.2 and 77 K. The hole width was found to broaden with temperature for {ital T} {<=} 20 K according to a {ital T}{sup 1.73} law. From the data, the room-temperature homogeneous linewidth, associated with the 1.531 {mu}m transition in the {sup 4}{ital I}{sub 13/2}--{sup 4}{ital I}{sub 15/2} laser system, is evaluated to be {Delta}{lambda}{sub {ital h}} = 11.5 nm for aluminosilicate fibers.
