Nonlinear dynamics induced by burst amplification in optically gain-stabilized erbium-doped amplifiers.
Optical burst amplification in a gain-stabilized amplifier may generate complex gain dynamics with nonlinear behavior. This phenomenon is thoroughly investigated by using a theoretical model and dedicated experiments. Design guidelines for optimized devices avoiding optical burst transmission impairments are proposed.
