Fiber amplifiers are a crucial and fast-growing field in the communication system. The study of this field show that the formulation procedures of lasers generation and amplifier amplification displays a problematical process due to the factors affecting and changing amplifier and laser significance in a dynamic way.
Gain, noise figure, wavelength, power flatness and power output are directly affected by any element or parameter inside the amplifier configuration. The design parameters such as: erbium ions concentration, EDF length, isolators, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) position, pump power position, circulators, pump directions, all of these elements and factors are affecting directly the amplifier output. EDFA is an amplifier that is best used because of its low loss and high gain. For communication, there are two windows 1530-1560nm(C-band) and 1560-1610nm (L-band).

Excerpt from the Book
3 PROPOSED TECHNIQUE
To complete the proposed work, use of a commercial simulation package Optiwave OptisystemTM is taken into use. This package permits us to realize the proposed system, to test and to analyze in modern optical transmission layer.
Due to the high rise in population which use internet, prolonged reach distance communication is required. To fulfill these demands, optical amplifiers are required. EDFA is perfect candidate to use in C-band wavelength window based communication. However it suffers from low Gain and high cost. To overcome this issue, C-band EDFA amplifier is proposed with high gain and less noise figure by incorporating the two fiber bragg gratings (FBGs) for amplified spontaneous noise reinjection. Maximum ASE is emerged at 1565 nm at -55 dBm carrier powers. Maximum gain is found out to be 48.16 dB with noise figure of 5.29 dBm at optimal physical parameters of the EDF, pump wavelength pump power and input power. Only single stage EDFA amplifier and single pump is employs to get maximum Gain.
In C band EDFA, prominent and premier technique of amplified spontaneous noise was used by utilizing forward and backward ASE to get the improved gain and less noise figure. This process was done through the narrowband Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) or fiber reflectors mirrors.
