We proposed a remote pumped bidirectional C+L band fiber amplifier for wavelength division multiplexing passive optical network. A high‐reflectivity pump reflector using three cascading fiber Bragg gratings is designed to reflect the residual pump power for L‐band amplification. Both the gains for C‐band and L‐band are larger than 10.0 dB under −10 dBm launched power. Using the remote pumped bidirectional fiber amplifier, the power penalty is only 0.82 dB after 10 Gb/s, 24 km bidirectional transmission. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
