Optical Amplifier Basics - Things We Should Remember Concerning Gain Flatness, Noise Figure, Efficiency in EDFAs

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are widely used for Wavelength Division Multiplexed networks. This tutorial will cover optical amplifier design considerations such as broad optical bandwidth, low optical noise, high efficiency and tolerance of input transients.
