چکیده
• Understand the principle of operation of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). • Construct an EDFA and an erbium-doped fiber laser. • Measure and calculate the essential parameters of the constructed EDFA. The basic theories on optical amplification by erbium-doped fibers are presented in this section as preparation for the discussions on noise characteristics and noise reduction methods presented in the next two sections. Many essential terms such as population inversion factor, gain and saturation are explained and defined here for later discussions.
