Abstract :
A novel method (pulse-on-background) to reduce pulse distortion in fast light pulse propagation through an erbium-doped fiber amplifier by adding a background of appropriate power is suggested. The pulse-on-background method depends on pulse width, pump power, pulse power and background-to-pulse power ratio.
