Gain flattened C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is demonstrated using a macro-bending method. Various bending diameter and length of high concentration aluminosilicate EDFA are theoretically and experimentally analyzed. By varying the bending radius and the length of the doped fiber, the g...
