  • Abstract
    An acousto-optic tunable filter is employed to flatten the gain spectrum of an erbium-doped fibre amplifier. A relatively flat gain spectrum of 15 nm in bandwidth with variations of less than 1 dB is obtained by simultaneously applying eight closely-spaced RF signals to the acousto-optic tunable filter.
