Abstract :
Six important programs of commercially available software for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are described with attention to advanced simulations. A more detailed description is given of two programs, EDFA Design(R) and VPIComponentMaker(R). The models included in the software are discussed, and their implicit assumptions are explained and examined
