Extension of Semi-analytical Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier Model to Self-Saturation Regime

We show in this paper that the analytical erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) model presented by Jopson and Saleh in 1991 can be extended to the self-saturation regime, making it capable of simulating all practical EDFAs. We show that an Intel Pentium 66 based computer can calculate gain and noise f...

Description
Summary:We show in this paper that the analytical erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) model presented by Jopson and Saleh in 1991 can be extended to the self-saturation regime, making it capable of simulating all practical EDFAs. We show that an Intel Pentium 66 based computer can calculate gain and noise figure for a counterdirectionally pumped self-saturated amplifier in
