A two-stage erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with a band pass filter is used to get optical pulses of high peak value. The pulse signal has a 32 ㏈ extinction ratio, 125 W peak power and 79 ㎽ pulse off power. A nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) is used to lower the pulse off power so as to increase the extinction ratio. The pulse signal after the NOLM has a 50.4 ㏈ extinction ratio, 35 W peak power and 0.3 ㎽ pulse off power.

A simple experimental method to design gain-flattened erbium-doped fiber amplifier is proposed and demonstrated based on the two linear relations between the output power and the pump power, and between the gain and the length of the eribium-doped fiber at the gain flattened state. The spectral gain variation of the eribium-doped fiber amplifiber constructed by this method was less than 0.4 dB over 12 nm (1,545~1,557nm) wavelength region. The gain flatness is also controlled within 0.4 dB over the input power range of -30~-15dBm/ch through the feedback control utilizing the amplified spontaneous emission power in the 1,530 nm region.

This paper presents a compensation method for a temperature-dependent gain tilt in L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier using a voltage-controlled attenuator. The gain tilts in the L-band of 1570-1605 nm due to a temperature change have negative slopes, whereas they have positive slopes for the increasing optical input powers in a saturation region. The proposed method utilizes these opposite gain variations to compensate for the gain tilt over a wide range of temperature. While applying forty channels with a channel spacing of 100 GHz in the L-band and changing the ambient temperature from 0 to $50^{\circ}C$, the compensation method maintained the gain deviation within 1 dB.

320km optical transmission link for 128 channel DWDM (dense wavelength-division-multiplexing) signals is simulated and fabricated. An optical fiber amplifier for the link is composed of a distributed Raman amplifier and dual C/L-band EDFAs which are optimized for the performances of an optical amplifier obtained from the simulation. Gain and NF of the optimized EDFAs are above 19dB and below 7.5dB, respectively. The resultant OSNRs (optical signal to noise ratios) of the link are average 25dB on each band.

This report describes the effect of optical delay on the suppression of the power transient excursion in a combined gain-controlled erbium-doped fiber amplifier with an internal optical feedback loop (OFL). A simple homogeneous model showed that the optical delay caused a phase change in the oscillation of the surviving and laser channels, which resulted in a reduction of the overall power transient excursion. In addition to the reduction, a real system with a 1528.7-nm OFL shifted the oscillation upward or downward according to channel removal or addition, whereas another one with a 1560.9-nm OFL did not. This different transient behavior reflected a control-wavelength dependence on optical automatic gain control, where spectral-hole burning dominated over relaxation oscillation for 1528.7 nm, and vice versa for 1560.9 nm.

We demonstrate a simulation of a parallel hybrid fiber amplifier in the C+L-band with a gain controlling technique. A variable optical coupler is used to control the input signal power for both EDFA and RFA branches. The gain spectra of the C+L-band are flattened by optimizing the coupling ratio of the input signal power. In order to enhance the pump conversion efficiency, the EDFA branch was pumped by the residual Raman pump power. A gain bandwidth of 60 nm from 1530 nm to 1590 nm is obtained with large input signal power less than -5 dBm. The gain variation is about 1.06 dB at a small input signal power of -30 dBm, and it is reduced to 0.77 dB at the large input signal power of -5 dBm. The experimental results show close agreement with the simulation results.
