Abstract

A hybrid fiber amplifier is a promising technology for dense wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in multi-terabit systems. Recently, hybrid fiiber amplifiers are designed in order to maximize the span length and/or to minimize the impairments of fiber nonlinearities, and to extend the bandwidth of EDFAs
