Characterization of lasing-oscillation direction in optical gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifiers

In this paper, the effect of ring-laser propagating direction in gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifiers is investigated. The optical amplifier architecture under study is based on ring-laser cavity. The strongest gain-clamping effect is obtained for bi-traveling ring-laser in the optical amplifi...
