All-optical Gain-clamped Erbium-doped Fiber Amplifier with Narrowband Amplified Spontaneous Emission Feedback Technique
All-optical gain clamping of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) based on an unique narrowband amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) feedback technique is demonstrated by incorporating a series of fiber Bragg grating at the output end of the amplifier. The reflected ASE acts as an additional signa...
