Modelling Of An Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier And Simulation Of Its Gain Flattening Methods
AUTHORS BIOGRAPHY
V. CONCLUSION
In the design of EDFAs, many factors such as pumping
wavelength, fiber length, fiber core radius, input signal
power, fiber numerical aperture, and Erbium concentration
have great influences. To find optimum values of these
factors, we need a reliable and effective method. Although
genetic algorithm can be quite helpful, sometimes it is hard to
work with this method because of lengthy computational time
and complexity. The population inversion can be controlled
by optimizing fiber length and injected pump power to EDFA.
With the proper selection of fiber length and injected pump
power to EDFA, the population inversion can be controlled
which in turn helps in maintaining the uniformity of gain in a
WDM system.
