Model for gain dynamics inerbium-doped fibre amplifiers

Abstract
A simple model is presented for characterising the dynamic gain of an erbium-doped fibre amplifier (EDFA). The time dependent gain is described by a single ordinary differential equation for an EDFA with arbitrary number of signal channels with arbitrary power levels and propagation directions. The simulation results agree with experimental data.
