This paper proposes the improvement of EDFA amplifier properties by adding additional segments of Yb3+ doped fiber. Experimental demonstration of a combined erbium-ytterbium doped fiber amplifier (EYDFA) performance using 5m long erbium-doped fiber (EDF) and 5m long ytterbium-doped fiber (YDF) is presented.

Keywords
EDFA, optical amplifiers, rare-earth doped fibers, spectral broadening.
