비대칭 구조의 커플러에 대한 이론적 고찰과 함께 EDFA 이득평탄용 필터로서의 응용과 그에 대한 설계를 하였다. 이득평탄필터를 구현하기 위한 비대칭 커플러의 광섬유 파라미터를 제시하였고 커플러의 광 결합 길이와 코어간의 거리에 따른 이득평탄필터의 투과 스펙트럼의 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 알아보았다. 그리고 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 하여 약 30nm의 대역폭에 걸쳐서 EDFA의 이득 스펙트럼을 $\pm$0.75 ㏈이하로 평탄화할 수 있는 이득평탄필터를 설계하였다.

All-optical fiber-type gain flattening filer (GFF) for an EDFA (Erbium doped fiber amplifier) were fabricated by using a FBT (fiber biconical tapered) process and the performance of the GFF was tested and athermal package was proposed. Historically, the chief contributor to gain unevenness has been the EDFA. Due to the inherent gain response of the EDFA's operation, there is always a modest imbalance in the gain applied as a function of wavelength. FBT methods have been used to make fiber type couplers and WDM filter since 1980. Attractivity of this methods was simple, cost effective and thermal stability. Simulation program tool is made to design target GFF profile for this paper. Fiber coupler manufacturing machine is modified for the GFF process. The final GFF is obtained by cascading 4 unit filter that has 6 taper stage. Test result shows 1 dB of wavelength flatness in the C band. Polarization dependent loss is under 0.15dB. The center wavelength variation is below ${\pm}$0.35nm at the temperature range of $20^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$.

For multi parameter optimization of Raman Fiber Amplifier (RFA), a simple genetic algorithm is presented in the scenario of a 320 channel Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) system at channel spacing of 25 GHz. The large average gain (> 22 dB) is observed from optimized RFA with the optimized parameters, such as 39.6 km of Raman length with counter-propagating pumps tuned to 205.5 THz and 211.9 THz at pump powers of 234.3 mW, 677.1 mW respectively. The gain flattening filter (GFF) has also been optimized to further reduce the gain ripple across the frequency range from 190 to 197.975 THz for broadband amplification.
