Abstract

Since erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) are being installed in undersea optical communication systems, long-term reliability of EDFA becomes important. Especially, durability of EDFs against γ-ray irradiation is of concern because EDFs which generally contain large amount of germanium(Ge) and aluminum(Al) in the core may be more sensitive to γ-ray-induced damage than standard fibers.
