We demonstrate a dual-stage gain-clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier. The first-stage amplifier consists of a short length of erbium-doped fiber to produce low noise figures. The second-stage is constructed from a counter-propagating ring-laser, in which the signals and the lasing wavelength propag

Abstract
A new design of an all‐optical gain‐clamped erbium‐doped fiber amplifier is demonstrated. The amplifier is based on the conventional ring cavity, where the gain is clamped at 21.84 dB via optical feedback using a single fiber Bragg grating for an input signal power as high as −8 dBm. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A short wavelength band erbium-doped fiber laser (S-band EDFL) is demonstrated utilizing a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in unidirectional ring configuration. The amplification in S-band is achieved using an erbium-doped fiber with depressed cladding, which suppressed gains at longer wavelength. The las
## Abstract This paper reports on dynamically gain‐flattened C‐ and L‐band erbium‐doped fiber amplifiers (DGF‐EDFAs), whose dynamic gain ranges are above 20 dB and 24 dB, respectively. This paper gives the detailed test and comparative results for DGF‐EDFAs based on the use of a voltage‐controlled
## Abstract A reconfigurable multiwavelength erbium‐doped fiber laser, using two multimode fiber Bragg gratings (MFBGs), is presented. Two MFBGs in L‐band are cascaded to form two overlapping resonant cavities. Various configurations of four‐, three‐, or two‐wavelength lasing are demonstrated exper
A double-clad erbium/ytterbium-doped fiber laser (EYDFL) is demonstrated using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as wavelength selective filter in a linear cavity resonator. The effect of the FBG's wavelength on the performance of the EYDFL is also investigated. The slope efficiencies of the EYDFL are obt
## Abstract A simple switchable dual‐wavelength Er‐doped fiber‐ring laser using a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) written in high‐birefringence (HiBi) fibers is proposed. Due to the two‐peak reflections with orthogonal polarizations of the FBG, the polarization hole‐burning effect in the cavity is greatl
