variation in conventional band erbium-doped fiber amplifier between 0
and 60°C are investigated. Experimental results demonstrate a decrement
in the temperature-dependent gain by increasing input signal power. At
-10 dB m input signal the lowest temperature sensitivity (average gain
18.27 dB, average temperature-dependent gain variation 0.16 dB and temperature-dependent
gain coefficient 0.0027 dB/°C) and at -40 dB m input signal the greatest
temperature sensitivity (average gain 27.85 dB, average temperature-dependent
gain variation 1.24 dB and temperature-dependent gain coefficient 0.02
dB/°C) is obtained.]]>Bolshtyansky, M., P. Wysocki and N. Conti,20001815331540Flood, F.A.,200119527535Goktas, H.H. and M. Yucel,20085023312334Kagi, N., A. Oyobe and K.
