flat dispersion profile with a single zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) by using a selective
liquid infiltration technique. The amplifier gain and bandwidth is investigated for a variety of
fiber lengths, pump power, and operating wavelengths. It is observed that sufficient peak
gains and broader bandwidths can be achieved with a small negative anomalous dispersion
(β_2≤ 0) and a positive value of the 4th-order dispersion parameter (+? β_4) around the …
