A gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier (GC–EDFA) for WDM optical packet-switching system
Abstract
The use of a dual-stage gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier (GC–EDFA) having a pump laser diode and 16-channel wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) with 0.8 nm spacing in the C-band of 1545–1560 nm wavelength was demonstrated in a burst packet-mode optical switching system through an experimental setup. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
