Abstract
An efficient full spectrum (1480-1600 nm) large-signal transient dynam ic model of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is developed. A tec hnique to speed up the simulation by a factor of 1000 using artificial delay lines based on the transmission-line model (TLM) is presented. Simulations and experimental results show the delay line method is not detrimental to the accuracy of the model, The efficiency of this mode l means it is ideal for simulating the dynamics of large wavelength-di vision multiplexed (WDM) networks if included in a network simulator.
