Gain-clamped fibre amplifier using an ASE end reflector
All-optical gain clamping in an erbium-doped fibre amplifier is demonstrated using a broadband fibre Bragg grating that reflects the amplified spontaneous emission centred at 1530 nm with a 14 nm bandwidth. Experiments on an eight-channel wavelength division multiplexing system show promise when the...
