"Doping a part of the optical fiber core by (Er3+ ) ions in presence of external pumping power will lead to form the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA).The performance of this optical amplifier depends on (the power and the wavelength of the pumping laser, the power and wavelength of the input signal, amplifier length, ion concentration). These parameters will affect the characteristics of EDFA such as amplifier gain, gain saturation, noise figure and output power. However, these characteristics can be determined by solving the EDFA propagation and rate equations. The solution of these equations of two-level laser medium can be done numerically. In this paper, we are proposed a novel method to solve these equations. The reconstructed results are perfectly coincided the well known numerical results.

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.

Sebuah esperimen bagi menambah daya pembesaran untuk jalur gelombang panjang (jalur–L) pembesar terdop erbium (PTE) telah didemonstrasi menggunakan reka bentuk yang berbadan dua. Jika dibandingkan dengan pembesar yang berbadan satu, pembesar ini dapat menambah pembesaran untuk isyarat 1580 nm sebanyak 5.5 dB dengan sedikit sahaja penambahan nilai bisingan. Nilai bisingan bertambah sebanyak 0.3 dB kerana kemasukan isolator dalam reka bentuk. Kadar kuasa pam pertama mestilah 33% daripada jumlah keseluruhan kuasa pam untuk nilai optima. Pembesaran maksimum sebanyak 8.3 dB telah diperolehi oleh isyarat 1568 nm semasa kuasa isyarat dan kuasa pam, masing–masing ditetapkan pada 30 dBm dan 92 mW. Keputusan esperimen menunjukkan penggunaan pembesar berbadan dua dapat menjimatkan kos kerana ia menggunakan kuasa pam yang lebih rendah. Kata kunci: Gentian terdop erbium, pembesar optik, pembesar terdop erbium, jalus LPTE An experiment on gain enhancement in the long–wavelength band erbium–doped fiber amplifier (L–band EDFA) is demonstrated using a dual stage configuration. Compared to a conventional single–stage amplifier, the small signal gain for a 1580 nm signal can be improved by 5.5 dB without paying much noise figure penalty. The corresponding noise figure penalty was 0.3 dB due to the insertion loss of the optical isolator. The optimum pump power ratio for the first pump was experimentally determined to be 33%. The maximum gain improvement of 8.3 dB was obtained at a signal wavelength of 1568 nm while signal and total pump powers were fixed at –30 dBm and 92 mW, respectively. These results show that the employment of the dual–stage amplifier system will play an important role in the development of a practical L–band EDFA from the perspective of economical usage of pump power.

An experiment on gain enhancement in the long wavelength band erbium doped fiber amplifier (L-band EDFA) is demonstrated. It uses a dual stage technique with dual forward pumping scheme. Compared to a conventional single stage amplifier, the small signal gain for 1580nm signal can be improved by 5.5dB without paying much noise figure penalty. The corresponding noise figure penalty was 0.3dB due to the insertion loss of the optical isolator. The optimum pump power ratio for the first pump is experimentally determined to be 33%. The maximum gain improvement of 8.3dB was obtained at a signal wavelength of 1568nm while signal and total pump powers were fixed at -30dBm and 92mW, respectively. The employment of dual stage amplifier system seems to play an important role in the development of practical L-band EDFA from the perspective of economical usage of pump power.Key Words:  erbium doped fibre; optical amplifier; L-band EDFA; dual stage EDFA; amplified spontaneous emission

Abstract Different fiber amplifiers such as semiconductor optical amplifier, erbium-doped fiber amplifier and erbium ytterbium-co-doped fiber amplifier (EYCDFA) are investigated for 16×40 GB/s wavelength division multiplexing system. Various performance parameters including Q-factor, bit error rate, jitter, eye opening and eye closure are observed and analyzed. It is reported that EYCDFA is a better choice among the tested amplifiers. The proposed system is also investigated in terms of transmission distance.

The massive demands for high-rate application drove the telecommunication service to use large bandwidth capacity. The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM), a common use in Metro-WDM, can be a solution to provide large bandwidth in optical communications. In a communications system, there are attenuation and nonlinear effect decreasing the system performance. In order to overcome the limitation imposed by electrical regeneration to maintain system performance, a means of optical amplification was sought. In this paper presents the comparison of two competing technologies emerged: Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) and Raman Optical Amplifier (ROA) to overcome the attenuation in the nonlinear system. We designed the CWDM system using 8 channels with 20 nm channel spacing and 60 km length. The result was conducted by varying the CW Laser power using -8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, and 6 dBm. Based on the result of the research, raman amplification can maintain the BER and the Q-factor of the CWDM system better than EDFA. In addition, the received power in raman amplification larger than that received in EDFA. In conclusion,a CWDM system using ROA amplifier has better performance for the system than using EDFA amplifier.

In this work, a single-stage C-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) has been constructed and characterized. Gain (G) and noise figure (NF) measurements collected for the C-band EDFA as a function of wavelength (1528.8 to 1562.3 nm) and laser pump powers are discussed. Further, the EDFA conversion efficiency (CE) as a function of laser pump powers is presented. Simplified mathematical expressions for the EDFA gain, NF, and CE are provided. The C-band EDFA signal gain remained flat in the spectral region 1539 to 1562 nm. Moreover, the C-band EDFA NF increased with wavelength and decreased with the 1480 nm laser pump powers. Additionally, the C-band EDFA maximum achieved conversion efficiency and signal gain is 22.64% at P1=19.49 mW and 22.6 dB at 1531.1 nm, respectively.
