【Abstract】 An improved intelligent EDFA is proposed in this paper. The design parameters are obtained by detailed simulation. In 16 wavelength channels’ small signal application where the input power of each channel is about -30dBmW, the flattened gain reaches 37dB, and the noise figure is less than 3.5dB. For large signal input, the flattened gain is 18dB and the noise figure is less than 5dB. Simulation results show that high flattened gain and low noise figure within large dynamic range of input power can be achievable in this design. Thus, it may be widely applied in existing DWDM networks.更多还原
