Sy. Kim et al., DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE ALL-OPTICAL GAIN-CONTROLLED EDFA CASCADE IN MULTIWAVELENGTH OPTICAL NETWORKS, Electronics Letters, 33(17), 1997, pp. 1475-1477
The authors present experimental results of using the all-optical gain
-clamped EDFA for protecting surviving channels in a wavelength-divisi
on-multiplexed network in which many EDFAs are used in cascade. In par
ticular, the effects of relaxation oscillations from the gain-clamped
EDFAS on transmission performances of surviving channels are discussed
.
