An 80 nm bandwidth long wavelength erbium-doped fiber amplifier using a seed light injection method is designed.It is shown that when the wavelength of the seed beam varies from 1520 nm to 1570 nm,the gain at 1610 nm increases and reaches maximum near 1553 nm and then decreases.The gain increases with the seed light power.With the seed light ,the long wavelength Erbium-doped fiber amplifier has 80 nm bandwidth (1570～1650 nm),30 dB gain and noise figure less than 5.0 dB.
