In this paper, a new configuration of the wide-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source is proposed using dual-stage scheme with a broadband fiber Bragg grating. The ASE source utilizes a Bismuth-based erbium-doped fiber (Bi-EDF) as a gain medium with either forward or backward pumping schem...
