Abstract
Optical amplifiers are an indispensable part of today’s network and face increasingly stringent demands on their performance in terms of peak gain, noise figure, cost, compactness, etc with growing transmission rates, increasing link lengths, wavelength division multiplexing and the continual improvisation of technology. Erbium-Ytterbium codoped fiber amplifier ( EYDFA ) an improvement of Erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), helps overcome the limitation of increase in the concentration of excited erbium ions by countering the pairs quenching phenomenon. This paper investigates the role of optical pumping in dual stage single pass EYDFA and the strong dependence of gain on the pump power till a stage of saturation is reached is observed. Further, an amplifier with high gain of 40-46 dB at 1550nm with low noise figure is simulated for very short lengths of active fiber. General Terms Compact in-line amplifier, dual stage configuration, high gain, low noise figure, optical amplifier
