Abstract
A new S-type of IR integrated waveguide amplifiers, based on erbium-ytterbium co-doped phosphate glass integrated with medium thin film filter, is proposed. The intrinsical gain spectrum of the proposed amplifier is obtained by solving rate and power propagation equations, a thin film filter flattening this intrinsical gain spectrum is designed by genetic algorithm, and fabricated. An average gain >10dB is obtained between 1530nm and 1560nm, and the average gain about 18dB between 1531nm and 1550nm with gain difference of <3dB is achieved.
