Effect of double-pass superfluorescence on an erbium doped fibre amplifier

Effect of double-pass superfluorescence that clamps a population inversion of the fibre amplifier to have a fixed gain is presented. All optical gain­clamping in an erbium doped fibre amplifier is demonstrated using a broadband fibre Bragg grating that reflects the amplified spontaneous emission cen...
