We use an amplifier model based on propagation and population-rate equations that are solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta algorithm and Newton's iterative method. In addition to analyzing the performance of the 800-nm pump, we also study the performance improvement after adding a new pump of 980 nm. With this new 980-nm pump, channels in the 1420-1620-nm wavelength region can reach a bit error rate (BER) less than 1times10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-9</sup> , with a transmission distance of 400 km.
