Residual amplitude modulation suppression using deeply saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifiers

Residual amplitude modulation due to wavelength dithering has been reduced significantly. A power penalty of 3.5 dB is reduced to only 0.2 dB by employing a deeply saturated erbium-doped fiber amplifier with a 25-kHz response frequency as a booster amplifier.
