Abstract
Thulium-doped fiber amplifier is a very proficient broadband fiber amplifier in S-band. Silica-based TDFA is a popular choice due to some of its evident features such as non-toxic nature, easy splicing and simple assembling. In this work, we have simulated and optimized various TDFA’s physical and operational parameters in order to obtain required gain spectra at different channel spacings. Further, a comparative study has been carried out between single and dual-pumped TDFAs. By using dual pumping scheme (1040 nm and 1000 nm) as fundamental source of excitation, maximum gain of 23.31 dB has been achieved at 1468.8 nm in region spanning 1400 nm to 1470 nm wavelengths with noise figure of 3.72 dB.
