“…These models are mostly static. Here we proposed for the first time a MATLAB based dynamic simulink test bed to model forward pump EDFA performance [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Here the dynamic models mean a user has a choice to choose the input variables to study its performance.…”

Optical fiber loss is a limiting factor for highspeed optical network applications. However, the loss can be compensated by variety of optical amplifiers. Raman amplifier and EDFA amplifier are widely used in optical communication systems. There are certain advantages of EDFA over Raman amplifier like amplifying the signal at 1550 nm wavelength at which the fiber loss is minimum. Apart from that there is no pulse walk-off problem with an EDFA amplifier. With the advent of optical amplifiers like EDFA, it is feasible to achieve a high bit rate beyond terabits in optical network applications. In our study, a MATLAB simulink-based forward pumped EDFA (operating in C-band 1525-1565 nm) simulation platform has been devised to evaluate the following performance parameters like gain, noise figure, amplified spontaneous emission power variations of a forward pumped EDFA operating in C-band (1525-1565 nm) as functions of Er 3? fiber length, injected pump power, signal input power, and Er 3? doping density. The effect of an input pump power on gain and noise figure was illustrated graphically. It is possible to completely characterize and optimize the EDFA performance using our dynamic simulink test bed.
