Abstract
A novel compensating light injection configuration for gain-clamped erbium-
doped fiber amplifier (EDFA's) is proposed. The compensating light is backw
ard injected from the end of the first stage of the amplifier and then refl
ected by a grating at the amplifier input end. Very wide input dynamic rang
e (0.5 mu W-500 mu W) with less than 1 mW of compensating light and low noi
se penalty (<0.5 dB) is demonstrated.
