The data shows that our wideband amplifier offers significant potential for high-capacity wavelength-division multiplexed transmission in the 1 μ m wavelength regime. The figures are as follows: Fig. 1. Correlation between frequency bandwidth and operating wavelength (per 1nm spectral bandwidth). Fig. 3. The gain and NF spectra of the (a, b) SS-YDFA and (c, d) DS-YDFA without a GFF。 Fig. 4. Simulated gain and NF spectra of the DS-YDFA without (blue line) and with a GFF (red line); Inset figure: the GFF spectrum used in our DS-YDFA. Fig.5. Amplified spontaneous emission spectra of the SS-YDFA with different fiber lengths. Fig. 6. (a) Measured gain and NF spectra of DS-YDFA with and without a GFF (inset: applied GFF profile) and (b) amplified output spectra of the gain-flattened DS-YDFA under -20 dBm/ch input signal.
