Characterization of erbium doped fibers

In this thesis the theory of operation of single-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifiers pumped at 980 nm is described. Details of the derivation of the general rate equation for the propagation of signal, pump, and amplified spontaneous emission are provided. Based on this equation, and McCumber'...
