Abstract :
In this paper, we analyze gain versus pump power for EDFA. The Runge-Kutta method with fourth-order accuracy is the method used to calculate the input pump power and gain for EDFA. In addition, we compare the theoretical results with experimental characterization for gain versus pump power. Also, we present the analytical method to determine the EDFA gain as a function of input pump power.
