Significant output power excursions in cascades of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) can cause serious problems in WDM packet-switched burst-mode networks. We show that the sizable power and noise figure swings arising in a cascade of EDFAs with WDM burst-mode packet-switched networks with self-similar traffic can be effectively suppressed when highly inverted amplifiers are employed.
