Abstract :
Optical-burst amplification in a gain-stabilized-amplifier may generate complex gain dynamics with chaotic behavior. This phenomenon is thoroughly investigated using a theoretical model and dedicated experiments. Optimized device designs to avoid optical-burst transmission impairments are proposed.
