Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate a comprehensive numerical model based on solving rate equations of a thulium-doped silica-based fiber amplifier. The pump power and thulium-doped fiber (TDF) length for single-pass thulium-doped fiber amplifiers (TDFA) are theoretically optimized to achieve the optimum gain and noise figure (NF) at the center of S-band region. The 1064 nm pump is used to provide both ground-state and excited state absorptions for amplification in the S-band region. The theoretical result is in agreement with the published experimental result.
