The small signal gain coefficient and the gain of Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) in the wavelength range (1400-1700 nm) for different erbium concentrations and different amplifier lengths are calculated and studied. A core graded-index and erbium-doped concentration, are optimized for an EDFA in simplified twolevel model. There is evidence to show that, the gain increases with the erbium concentration and the amplifier length. Where the relation between the gain and the amplifier length at different wavelengths is linear with the maximum gain at λ = 1530 nm. Also the temperature dependence of the small signal gain coefficient and the gain at the peak wavelength of EDFA was studied which shows, slightly increase in the values of both with temperature. The value of the signal wavelength was chosen in the gain window of EDFA at 1530 nm.
