Abstract

In this paper, we describe a high-power Er-Yb codoped optical fiber amplifier with flat gain tilt characteristics and low noise figure with mid-stage dispersion-compensating-fiber (DCF). The amplifier has been tested with a 77 NTSC channel matrix box, and showed its full compatibility for the US standard for cable TV applications.
