Abstract
This paper considers an optical burst switching network of 16 WDM channels
amplified by all-optical gain clamped erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Experimental
and numerical investigations are carried out in order to determine the impact
of the burst length and inter-arrival time in the performance of stabilized
amplification. The results show that the design of synchronous burst networks
should take into account the characteristics of the clamped amplifier, whereas
for asynchronous transmission, the power ripples induced by the critical cases
may be neglected.
