Abstract
We present a quasi-analytical model for characterizing the output-field photon-statistics of nonlinear Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and amplifier-chains with arbitrary input-field statistics All the available results on output-photon-statistics of linear amplifiers can be derived as a special case of the present nonlinear theory
