Abstract
The erbium-doped fiber amplifier1 (EDFA) is now established as a key component for future high-speed, silica-based optical fiber communication networks operating at a wavelength of 1.55 μm. Its major attributes are high gain,2 high efficiency,3,4 low noise,5 and potential multichannel operation6 with low cross talk.
