We show the advantages of distributed erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) over lumped EDFAs. Using the distributed EDFA for 50%-100% of the transmission line lessens the signal degradation compared to the conventional transmission line. We also show the feasibility of the gain-flattened d-EDFA transmission line. An experiment shows that the gain peak is shifted and flattened at low pump powers.
