  • Abstract
    We have realized a novel gain-tilt free L-band EDFA using a thulium-doped fiber. This EDFA has a wide input power range of more than 8 dB, a wide temperature range of 65 degreeC without gain-tilt in a wavelength band between 1575 nm and 1610 nm, and a low noise figure of less than 6 dB.
