Abstract:Abstract-A hybrid RamanlEDF amplifier topology with a novel hybrid gain control (HGC) scheme based on joint actuation to provide flattened spectral gain together with improved noise figure was developed. This paper compares the hybrid amplifier performance with the most used optical amplifier topology to provide flat spectral gain (two-stage EDFA with coupled AGC),showing an improved of equivalent noise figure (1.12-6.53 dB) with flattened spectrum for all dynamic operation range (full C band load). The hybrid… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
