Recent progress on few-mode fiber amplifier

One of the most important issues as regards the few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (FM-EDFA) is the differential modal gain (DMG). This paper reviews various schemes for reducing the DMG. We also present results for multi-core, few-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (MC-FM-EDFA).
