High average gains of greater than 31 dB have been obtained between 1530-1560 nm (conventional-wavelength band, C-band) and 1570-1600 nm (long-wavelength band, L-band) using a saturating tone technique that represents 64 channels of a wavelength division multiplexed system. A bidirectional amplifyin...
