Nupur Agarwal, Aditya Goel . High Gain / Low NF EYDFA with Distributed Pumping. International Journal of Computer Applications. 111, 8 ( February 2015), 1-4. DOI=10.5120/19555-1295
Optical amplifiers are an indispensable part of today's network and face increasingly stringent demands on their performance with increasing link lengths, growing transmission rates, wavelength division multiplexing and the continual improvisation of technology. Erbium-Ytterbium co-doped fiber amplifier ( EYDFA ) an improvement of Erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), helps overcome the limitation of increase in the concentration of excited erbium ions by countering the pairs quenching phenomenon. This paper investigates the role of optical pumping in EYDFA and the strong dependence of gain on the pump power till a stage of saturation is reached.
