Description/Abstract | Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are modeled using the propagation and rate equations of a homogeneous, two-level laser medium.^Numerical methods are used to analyze the effects of optical modes and erbium confinement on amplifier performance, and to calculate both the gain and ASE spectra.^Fibers with confined erbium doping are completely characterized from easily measured parameters: the ratio of the linear ion density to fluorescence lifetime, and the absorption of gain spectra.^Then analytical techniques allow accurate evaluation of gain, saturation, and noise in low-gain amplifiers ({ital G} {approx lt} 20 dB). |
