摘要
A wide-band and finely gain-flattened hybrid fiber amplifier is realized. The seamless 3.0-, 1.3-, and 1.0-dB bandwidths of 80, 76, and 69 nm with relative gain-flatness' of 11.3%, 4.7%, and 3.7%, respectively, are achieved for the first time using the amplifier, The amplifier consists of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier, which has a short fluoride-based erbium-doped fiber, a discrete Raman amplifier, which has two isolated Raman fibers pumped simultaneously at three wavelengths, and a small-peak-loss gain-equalizer. The amplifier also yields optical noise figures under 6.0 dB.
