Gain-clamped erbium-doped fibre amplifier for wavelength division multiplexed systems

Amplification of multiwavelength signals by an erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA) is becoming critical, due to the proliferation of wavelength division multiplexed systems. However, when a standard EDFA is employed, dissimilarities between signal gains may prove unacceptable. Thus, a novel gain-cla...
