title: Polarization characteristics of a reflective erbium doped fiber amplifier with temperature changes at the Faraday rotator mirror.
abstract: The temperature dependence of a Faraday rotator mirror (FRM) used in a reflective erbium doped fiber amplifier(R-EDFA) is reported in this paper. The influence of this dependence on the polarization state (PS) of amplified optical signals is also discussed.
