A. Altuncu et al., GAIN AND NOISE-FIGURE CHARACTERIZATION OF A 68 KM LONG DISTRIBUTED ERBIUM-DOPED FIBER AMPLIFIER, Electronics Letters, 32(19), 1996, pp. 1800-1801
The authors report the detailed gain and noise figure characterisation
of a 68km lomg distributed erbium doped fibre amplifier (DEDFA) using
a fibre design optimised for this application. The results, represent
ing significant improvements over DEDFA performances reported hitherto
, confirm the success of our optimised fibre design.
