AbstractThis paper has simulated the pump laser automatic signal control for erbium-doped fiber amplifier gain, noise figure, and output spectral power. Signal gain and noise figure are deeply studied in relation to laser pump power variations at operating pumping wavelengths of 980 nm and 1,480 nm for previous and proposed models. Similar to the study of the light signal to noise ratio, output power level and maximum Q factor are also simulated versus EDFA amplifier length at pumping power of 500 mW and different pumping wavelength by using the proposed model. The obtained results are better by using a pumping wavelength of 1,480 nm than a pumping wavelength of 980 nm. The optimum EDFA amplifier is 5 m, which gives better performance than other amplifier lengths.

The effect of injecting of C-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) from C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) on the performance of L-band EDFA is demonstrated using a circulator and broadband fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Injecting a large amount of ASE (VOA=0 dB) clamps the gain at 15.2 dB from -40 to -10 dBm with a gain variation of less than 0.3 dB. Injecting a small amount of ASE (attenuation of 20 dB and above) improves the small signal gain with a negligible noise figure penalty compared to that of an amplifier without the ASE injection. A maximum gain improvement of 3.5 dB is obtained at an attenuation of 20 dB. These results show that the ASE injection technique can be used either for gain improvement or gain clamping in L-band EDFA.
