An efficient and flat-gain Erbium-doped fiber amplifier in the region of 1550 nm to 1590 nm

A flat gain erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) operating in the 1550 nm to 1590 nm region is demonstrated. The EDFA uses only a15m EDF as opposed to a standard L-band EDFA which requires significantly longer EDF lengths. The EDF is fabricated using a Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition process in co...
