A new double-pass long wavelength band erbium-doped fiber amplifier with enhanced noise figure characteristics is demonstrated by adding a short length of forward pumped erbium-doped fiber (EDF) in front of a double-pass amplifier. Compared with the conventional double-pass amplifier, the new amplifier provides noise figure improvement of about 0.8 to 6.0 dB over the flat-gain region from 1568 to 1600 nm. Since the optical circulator prevents the amplified signal and backward amplified spontaneous emission from propagating into the EDF, the population inversion of the input part of the amplifier is hardly affected by the intense lights, therefore, the noise figure could be kept low. The new double-pass system has achieved a flat-gain output at about 33.5 dB, which is 13.5 dB higher than that of the single-pass system with gain variation less than 1.3 dB at the flat-gain region. The noise figure varies from 5.9 to 6.6 dB in this region.
