We report the design and performance of a packaged broadband PM hybrid HDFA/TDFA in the 2000–2100 nm band using all-single-clad doped fibers. Internalsmall signal G = 49.1 dB, small signal NF = 6…
Thirteen different single-mode optical fibers have been experimentally and theoretically characterized highlighting the influence of the core and cladding dopants on their Brillouin signatures: Bri…
