In this study, the gain clamping performance of Hafnia-bismuth-erbium co-doped fibre amplifier (HB-EDFA) using a lasing controlled structure with fibre Bragg grating (FBG) pair is presented. First, the gain and noise figure (NF) characteristics of a bidirectionally pumped HB-EDFA with very short len...
