Abstract :
In this paper, a mini-max design approach is proposed to obtain a Broadband Super-luminescent Light Emitted Diode (SLED) output spectrum equalizer by using all-fiber Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI). The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated both in simulation and in experiments.
