Abstract

Noise figure reduction of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier using loop mirror filter is demonstrated. Approximately 0.5-dB noise figure reduction is achieved at input signal power level below - 30dBm. Transferring energy from the amplifier spontaneous emission to the input signal compensates for the insertion loss of the loop mirror filter device. The insertion loss of the device approximately 1 dB.
