Simplification of the EDFA gain spectra utilizing gain slope compensating filter

We propose the use of gain slope compensating filter to simplify the EDFA gain spectra. The proposed gain slope compensating filter (GSCF) exhibits the loss which increases or decreases monotonically with wavelength which is easily implemented by using directional coupler techniques.
