Abstract :
In conclusion, we have presented the first demonstration of high-power, low-noise, gain-flattened, 60-channel, extended L-band EDFAs with full functionality over a large dynamic range, and showed that they can be strong candidates for future high-bit-rate, wide-band, ultra-long-haul systems.
