Abstract

In the design of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), improving flat-gain has great important significance. The working principle and gain characteristics of EDFA are introduced briefly, the influence of the factors such as Erbium doped fiber (EDF) length and pump power on the gain of EDFA is analyzed in detail, and the simulation experiments were carried out with Optisystem software. The result shows that, when pump power is constant, with EDF length departing the optimal value, the gain of each channel decreases at different degrees; when EDF length is constant, with pump power departing the optimal value, the gain of each channel changes at different degrees. Moreover, Er 3+ concentration has significant effect on the gain, and there is an optimal Er 3+ concentration to get the largest gain.
