A super L-band amplifier (21 dB gain over 1575~1626 nm) is demonstrated using two types of erbium doped fibers designed for single-mode and multi-mode pumping. Noise figure, power consumption and fabrication cost are analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
