Novel, gain-flattened L-band EDFA with ASE utilization with > 40 nm 3 dB bandwidth
A simple gain-flattened L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is demonstrated, utilizing unwanted C-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) to enhance L-bulld gain performance. An L-band flat gain range of 50 nm (1560-1610 nm) is achieved for use in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) tran...
