About this document
EDFA Overview: Advantages & Disadvantages by Irfan Ardiansyah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) and how they work. EDFAs have advantages such as high pump power utilization over 50%, the ability to directly amplify a wide wavelength band over 80nm in the 1550nm region with relatively flat gain. Gain can exceed 50dB and they have low noise figures suitable for long haul applications. However, disadvantages are that EDFAs are large in size and have high pump power consumption.
