Tool Used: OptSim
This example demonstrates modulation of a pump’s optical power to produce gain modulation in an EDFA, and is based on the parameters and results in [1]. The simulation uses Transient simulation mode in OptSim.
A 980 nm pump and 1530 nm signal are launched into a 10.5 m EDFA, modeled via the Compact Transient EDFA model. The input signal power is fixed, while the pump power is modulated as
