Abstract
Spectral hole burning (SHE) is a significant phenomenon for wide-bandwidth EDFA-based lightwave transmission systems. For the first time the effects are reported of SHB on the Q-performance for a partially loaded, 19 nm bandwidth, 6246 km system. Idler tones are shown to both flatten the gain shape and improve the performance for such a system
