Subsequently, an over-coupled coupler is fabricated to realize the FLM, which is integrated to an EDF pumped by a 980-nm laser diode with a power level of 100 mW. By introducing an appropriate amount of bend-induced and inserting the optical tapered fiber in FLM, the ASE spectrum of the EDF was flattened within 0.9 dB over a wavelength range of 31 nm in the C-band (1525 nm-1556 nm).}, number={4}, journal={Majlesi Journal of Electrical Engineering}, publisher={OICC Press}, author={Ghorbani, Yalda and Shahi, Sh.}, year={2024}, month={Feb.}, keywords={ASE source, Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), Fiber Loop Mirror (FLM), Gain-flattening spectrum.
