In this paper, a bismuth-based erbium-doped fiber amplifier (Bi-EDFA) that operates in both the C- and L-band wavelength regions is demonstrated. The system employs two pieces of bismuth-based erbium-doped fiber (Bi-EDF) as the gain medium with a midway broadband fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The FBG f...
