Abstract :
Different dual-wavelength pumping schemes for thulium-doped fiber amplifiers (TDFA) are characterized and evaluated for their feasibility in S-band optical telecommunication networks. The main focus is on system impairments due to transient effects, gain cross-saturation, and bit error rate.
