Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an inhomogeneity tunable erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier with a long wavelength band and method of blocking a backward amplified spontaneous light emission in the same. The optical fiber amplifier includes a control device situated between a first amplification stage and a second amplification stage for controlling an isolation rate of a backward amplified spontaneous light emission being propagated from a second amplification stage to the first amplification stage. The method blocks a backward amplified spontaneous light emission in a two-stage inhomogeneity tunable erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier with a long wavelength gain band, in which the backward amplified spontaneous light emission being propagated from a second amplification stage to a first amplification stage is blocked, and an isolation rate of the backward amplified spontaneous light emission is controlled according to the intensity of an optical signal inputted to the first amplification stage.
