A Novel Measurement Technique of the Parameters of Erbium-Doped Optical Fibers
https://doi.org/10.31854/1813-324X-2019-5-2-6-19
Abstract
The paper presents a novel measurement technique of the parameters of erbium-doped fibers for modeling EDFA ampfiers in DWDM systems. A distinctive feature of the proposed measurement technique is the elimination of the effect of losses introduced by the passive components of the measuring schemes on the measurement results.
