Abstract

Through the introduction of the overlapping factors between the light (pump and signal) intensities and the erbium doping distributions inside the fiber core, analytical solutions of homogeneously broadened two-level systems for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers pumped in the 980 nm absorption band have been derived from EDFA rate equations and light propagation equations in steady-state case. By using these deduced expressions and numerical simulated methods, important features characterizing the amplifiers such as gain, pump threshold power, optimum fiber length have been analyzed and discussed.
