## Abstract We present an L‐band all‐optical gain‐clamped erbium‐doped fiber amplifier with a fiber‐loop mirror as the ASE reflector. By using the combination of a C/L‐band wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) and fiber‐loop mirror, the backward C‐band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) is refle

✦ Synopsis
Dynamic gain fluctuations in a ring-laser gainclamped EDFA submitted to WDM traffic fluctuations are experimentally investigated. We measured the effect of relaxation oscillations that build up with laser action upon the BER on a 10-Gb/s optical transmission. Power penalties up to 1 dB are observed for resonanttraffic fluctuations.
