Lesson 5: Design Versions – EDFA Characterization
The sample file “EDFA Characterization.osd” shows how to use OptiSys_Design with multiple
design versions. In this example we characterize the Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier by using
sweeps for the input parameters of the amplifier.
Figure 71 -EDFA Characterization.osd
This example use different parameter sweeps for each design version:
• Length: Iterations of EDFA fiber length from 1 to 20 meters.
• Input Signal Power: Iterations of CW laser signal power from -40 to 0 dBm
• Pump Power: Iterations of Pump laser power from 10 to 200 mW
• Wavelength: Iterations of CW laser signal wavelength from 1525 to 1600 nm
