Abstract
An asymmetrical directional coupler with two nonidentical fibers has, for the first time, been proposed and analyzed for an EDFA gain flattening filter (GFF). The characteristics of the transmission spectra of the GFFs have been theoretically investigated for the core spacings, the coupling lengths and the fiber parameters of the asymmetrical directional coupler. The analytical results show that an EDFA gain spectrum with flatness of ~7 ㏈ can be flattened to within $\pm$0.75 ㏈ over a bandwidth of 30 nm by using the asymmetrical directional coupler-based GFF.
