Optical fiber amplifier employing a bundle of reduced cladding erbium-doped fibers for multi-core fiber transmission

We propose a novel optical amplifier that employs a bundle of erbium-doped fibers for multi-core fiber transmission. We demonstrate the amplification of seven independent signals by using a bundle of EDFs with 60 μm cladding.
