Abstract In this paper, design of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) based 16 channel wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) system for different pump powers and input signal levels using counter propagating pumping scheme is reported. Wavelength range between 1548 and 1560 nm in C-band with channel spacing of 0.75 nm at a bit rate of 10 Gbps are used. Input power given to all the channels is taken between −20 and −35 dBm with 3 dBm variation. Pump power levels between 100 and 500 mW at 980 nm wavelength are used. Low gain flatness with high gains and low noise figures are achieved with the proposed scheme.

This work demonstrates the simulation of two different types of optical fiber amplifiers (OFA) utilizing OptiSystem–10, namely, 3 m length of erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and 7 km length of Raman fiber amplifier (RFA). The counter-pumped architecture is adopted for both proposed optical amplifiers. The optimum pump power (OPP) for each amplifier determines in which the longest 3–dB flat gain bandwidth (3–dB BW), reasonable average gain level (Gav), proper average noise figure (NFav) and lower gain variation (Gvar) were achieved. The EDFA shows best performance at conventional band (C–band) within the pump power of 30 mW.While the better performance is observed at long band (L–band) within the pump power of 600 mW for the RFA.

AbstractThe effect of transversal design in Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers’ gain and noise figure performance is illustrated in this work. In this work, we investigate experimentally a single pass 980 nm pumped EDFA with partially doped Erbium core fiber (PDCF), which has the core partially doped with Erbium ions. Later, the enumerated results for PDCF are compared with a standard fully doped EDF, having similar Erbium ion doping concentration. The PDCF Amplifier gain and noise figure performance is studied against different pump power and signal power at different operating wavelengths. The noise figure indicates improvement due to reduced spontaneous emission from un-doped region of the core.
