Gain equalization of erbium doped fibre amplifiers with tuneable long-period gratings

M.Ing. === This thesis is about the gain equalization of erbium doped fibre amplifiers (EDFA), which is a key technology for enabling wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication systems. In order to flatten dynamically the EDFA gain spectrum, a tuneable long-period grating filter was...
