Abstract
A gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is demonstrated using a double-pass superfluorescent laser centered in the 1530 nm band. The gain is clamped at 21 dB with about 0.2 dB variation, and the gain flatness between channels is kept below 0.6 dB over 11 dB of input signal power variation. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
