Optimization of gain flattened C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) using a macro- bending method with an improved gain flatness and bandwidth is demonstrated. The optimization for gain flatness and bandwidth was achieved by varying the bending radius and the length of the doped fiber. In the...
