F. Bruyere, MEASUREMENT OF POLARIZATION-DEPENDENT GAIN IN EDFAS AGAINST INPUT DEGREE OF POLARIZATION AND GAIN COMPRESSION, Electronics Letters, 31(5), 1995, pp. 401-403
The dependence of polarisation dependent gain (PDG) in erbium-doped fi
bre amplifiers on both the degree of polarisation (DOP) of the input s
ignal and gain compression is measured for the first time. PDG is foun
d to depend quadratically on the input DOP.
