چکیده
The paper presents an improved gain flattening and noise figure analysis in the C-band regime using an equalization filter of a dual stage single mode polarization maintaining bowtie erbium doped fiber amplifier. The configuration uses two in-line 980nm laser pumps. The gain and noise figure variation with fiber length, pump power and temperature of the system for C-band communication have been investigated. With equalization filter, a gain and noise figure flatness (p-p) of just 1.1dB and 2.3dB respectively, in 1530-1565 nm BW, for optimized 150 mW and 250 mW pump lasers was obtained. The gain has also shown temperature dependent variation, with minimum fluctuation of 0.71dB at 20C. Based on results, the system feasibility as in C-band communication has been discussed.

Gain equalization of an EDFA is performed by introducing spectrally designed all-fiber filters in the midstage of a dual-stage fiber amplifier. Two types of filters are studied: a cascade of narrow-band Bragg gratings for discrete equalization of a finite number of channels and a wide-band Bragg grating performing equalization over the whole 1539 nm to 1557 nm range. In future work, it is plann...
