We demonstrate a maximum gain of 4.6 dB at a signal wavelength of 5.28 μm in a 4.1 μm resonantly pumped Pr 3+ -doped selenide-based chalcogenide glass fibre amplifier of length 109 mm, as well as a new signal excited-stated absorption (ESA) at signal wavelengths around 5.5 μm. This work to the best of our knowledge is the first experimental demonstration of gain at mid-infrared (MIR) wavelengths in a Pr 3+ -doped chalcogenide fibre amplifier. The signal ESA of the fibre is attributed to the transition  3 H 6  → ( 3 F 4 ,  3 F 3 ) after the pump ESA ( 3 H 5  →  3 H 6 ) at a pump wavelength of 4.1 μm, which absorbs the MIR signal at wavelengths of 5.37, 5.51 and 5.57 μm, and so spoils the amplifier’s performance at these wavelengths. Thus, this signal ESA should be suppressed in a resonantly pumped Pr 3+ -doped selenide-based chalcogenide fibre amplifier.
