摘要：

Four Erbium doped fiber optic amplifiers (EDFAs) were irradiated by gamma-rays to dose levels of 40 Krad(Si) and 100 Krad(Si) at dose rates of 0.25 rad(Si) sec(-1) and 1.0 rad(Si) sec(-1), respectively. All EDFAs were observed to incur radiation induced permanent decreases to their pre-irradiated signal gains. The paper will discuss the influence of gamma-ray irradiations on EDFA parameters such as gain, noise figure, and integrated amplified spontaneous emission. A brief discussion of how changes to these parameters evolve is presented.
