Flat-gain wide-band erbium doped fiber amplifier with hybrid gain medium

A new erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is demonstrated using a combination of zirconia-based erbium-doped fiber (Zr-EDF) and silica-based Erbium-doped fiber (Si-EDF) as the gain medium. The EDFA comprises a 2 m long Zr-EDF and 9 m long Si-EDF optimized for C- and L-band operations, respectively,...
