Propagation and chirp characteristics of the fundamental soliton pulse in erbium-doped fiber amplifiers
The propagation and chirp characteristics of the fundamental soliton pulse in the Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier(EDFA) in the anomalous-dispersion regime are numerically studied and a novel method for achieving linear chirp by using EDFA proposed.The results of the numerical analysis show that good linear chirp is obtained when the gain coefficient μ is far greater than 1 and the chirp characteristics are affected by the length L of the selected EDFA: the larger the value of L
the more obvious the linear chirp
but the narrower pulse region it takes.Finally
the compression factor and pedestal energy ratio of the output pulse obtained after chirp compensation are calculated.
