Abstract :
In this paper we review recent progress in optical gain clamped Erbium-doped fibre amplifier in burst-mode operation. In particular we focus on the application in optical burst switching networks where physical impairments may occur due to the interplay between burst interval arrival time and intrinsic amplifier characteristics.
