Gain control in L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier using a ring resonator

Gain control in a long-wavelength (L-band) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) using a counter-propagating ring resonator is demonstrated. The clamped gain can be controlled to be in the range from 7.0 to 18.0 dB for the 1580 nm signal at -30 dBm by tuning the oscillating laser in the range from 156...
