Abstract

For a more detailed understanding of the mechanism of an L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier, we investigated 980 nm absorption, signal amplification and forward and backward amplified spontaneous emission along the erbium-doped fiber. In addition, we compared performances of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier with and without a fiber Bragg grating.
