What is EDFA
• Type of Optical amplifier• Stands for “Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier”• Used to boost the intensity of optical signals being carried
through a fiber optic communications system • Has a fiber whose core is heavily doped with Erbium ions• Works on the concept of stimulated emission• Operates in the C band (1530-1560) and L band (1570-1610)

Origin of EDFA (Who, When and Where)
• Prof.David Payne and team• Published the research paper in the
year 1987• At the University of Southampton,
UK

Why Erbium?
• Erbium has several important properties that make it an excellent choice for an optical amplifier
• Erbium ions (Er3+) have quantum levels that allows them to be stimulated to emit in the 1540nm band, which is the band that has the least power loss in most silica-based fiber.
• Erbium's quantum levels also allow it to be excited by a signal at either 980nm or 1480nm, both of which silica-based fiber can carry without great losses

Advantages
• Commercially available in C-band & L-band
• Insensitivity to light polarization state
• High gain
• Low noise figure: 4.5 dB to 6dB
• No distortion at high bit rates
• Simultaneous amplification of wavelength division multiplexed signals
• Immunity to cross talk among wavelength multiplexed channels

Advantages (Cont…)
• Do not require high speed electronics• Independent of bit rate (Bit rate transparency)
![Page 14: E D F A Seminar By: Geno G James EE-566 Optical Communication.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d7f5503460f94a63473/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Drawbacks
• Pump laser necessary• Need to use a gain equalizer for multistage amplification• Difficult to integrate with other components• Dropping channels can give rise to errors in surviving channels
