Abstract

An L-band EDFA may have three amplifier stages. In the first stage, a high power 980 nm laser is used to generate C-band ASE noise which is used to pump the erbium doped fiber of the second stage. The second stage fiber is arranged as a plug-in module which connects between a first stage isolator and a mid-stage loss between the second and third stages. The desired gain of the amplifier is obtained by selecting a plug-in module with a length of fiber that will give the desired amplifier output power for a given input power.
