Broadband Amplification of Er-Doped Bismuthate Waveguide with > 10 dBm Output Powers from 1527 to 1573 nm

Er-doped bismuthate waveguide having output powers of > 10 dBm from 1527 to 1573 nm and a maximum power of 16 dBm at 1560 nm is realized by optimizing waveguide length and reducing propagation loss.
