Gain and noise figure improvement of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers by optimizing spectral splicing conditions

Summary form only given. We demonstrated that the Er-doped optical fibre amplifier saturated output power was maximum when the splice loss was minimized at wavelength of 980 nm, on the other hand the NF was minimum as the splice loss was minimized at 1550 nm still. In summary, we have measured and analyzed the performances of EDFAs as changing the spectral splicing conditions.
