English Abstract

Optical Fiber Amplifiers (OFAs) are very promising devices through their attractive properties.

Many efforts are paid to this technology in order to reach the highest possibilities of making these devices exist in telecommunication system reality.

The present work describes some physical aspects of active fiber amplifiers and a numerical model for the analysis of active optical fibers that can be applied to investigate the properties of these amplifiers.

Changing the doping material is analyzed with two types of rare-earth ions (Erbium and Thulium) and its effect on the amplifier performance is studied.

The effect of changing the signal wavelength, input signal power, pump wavelength, and launched pump power on the device performance is also investigated.

Finally, temperature dependence of the OF A performance is also analyzed and the use of temperature insensitive amplifier is presented.

The OFAs are rapidly became realistic devices and as a new technological scheme, it seemed that no future fiber optic system could ever be made without them.
