Optical amplifier dynamics and its applications for WDM optical networks

Dr. Yan Sun

Optical amplifiers are being widely used in optical communication networks. As optical communication transitioned from single channel, point-to-point systems to WDM, ring and mesh optical networks, it is important to understand the dynamics of optical amplifiers and its impact on optical networks. In this seminar, we will review the dynamics of EDFA, the control schemes, and its applications for WDM applications. The dynamics of several other types of optical amplifiers will also be briefly addressed.
