Application of high concentration thulium-doped fiber for achieving S-band gain flattened hybrid optical amplifier

A hybrid amplifier is proposed using a series configuration of Thulium-doped fiber (TDF) and Raman amplifiers, which shares the same pump laser. This amplifier covers the bandwidth of entire short wavelength band (S-band) region by combining the gain spectrum of the TDF and Raman amplifiers. The new...
