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 i s clamped at 21 dB with about 0.2 dB variation, and the gain flatness betwe en channels is kept below 0.6 dB over 11 dB of input signal power variation . (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
