Gain Enhancement in Reflected-Pumped Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers,

Abstract

Improved performance of EDFAs is achieved using wavelength-selective reflective filters to double-pass the pump beam. In low-gain amplifiers these filters can increase the saturation output power by 2 dB or reduce the pump power requirements.
