Abstract
The gain-flattened erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is a key device for wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) modern optical network systems. A flat spectral gain EDFA has been achieved by controlling the doped fiber length and the pump power. The purpose of this paper is to study the variation of gain flattening over the temperature range from −20 to +60 °C. The results obtained here indicate that gain flatness increases as temperature increases.
