Abstract
We propose an optically C plus L-band (1530–1600 nm) silica-based wideband gain-clamped (GC) erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) using a common figure-eight feedback-loop lasing light at 1568 nm, which is just located within the dead-zone between the C- and L-bands, where no WDM channels can be transmitted. The optical gain and noise figure characteristics of this wideband GC–EDFA in terms of the loop attenuation are examined. This wideband GC–EDFA may find important applications in broadband DWDM networks.
