A new double pass long wavelength band erbium-doped fibre amplifier (L-band EDFA) with a further improved gain is demonstrated using double pass technique with a first 5 m of the EDF is unpumped. The wasted conventional band (C-band) backward amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is used as a seconda...
