Abstract :
An extremely large 3-dB gain-bandwidth of 75 nm (1531-1606 nm) is achieved employing partially gain-flattened erbium-doped fluoride fiber amplifiers and Raman amplification in the transmission fibres. 9×2.5 Gb/s WDM transmission is successfully demonstrated using our amplifiers as an in-line- and pre-amplifiers
