Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) for C-Band Optical Communication System
نویسندگان
چکیده
One distinct feature of an optical fiber is that there is a wide spectral region where signals are transmitted in optical fiber. Since most light sources used in high-capacity optical communication systems emit narrow wavelength or less than 1nm, whilst most full-spectrum fibers for communication application operates in C-band. Thus, the paper reviews the technology of optical amplifier in telecommunication network applications. The main scope of this paper is to implement Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) in the range of C-band. The gain and noise figure at each changes of both length and pump power are observed, simulated by using OptiSystem software. The EDFA optical amplifier is inserted in the Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system to trigger in various inputs at different wavelength in the range between 1538 to 1565nm.
