Towards an integrated optic tuneable gain equalizer for erbium-doped fibre amplifiers

M.Ing. === Long distance optical communication systems experience a large degree of attenuation due to fibre losses, necessitating signal amplification. Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers (EDFAs) have found widespread use as all-fibre optical amplifiers, but exhibit unequal amplification of different wav...
