Jr. Costa et Cr. Paiva, MULTICHANNEL SOLITON AMPLIFICATION IN ERBIUM-DOPED FIBER AMPLIFIERS, Microwave and optical technology letters (Print), 19(4), 1998, pp. 309-313
Soliton amplification in fiber amplifiers has been analyzed using eith
er a parabolic-gain profile (as in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equatio
n) or a Lorentzian pl profile (ns in the set of Maxwell-Bloch equation
s). For multichannel soliton amplification in erbium-doped fiber ampli
fiers, we present a new numerical method that takes into account the a
ctual gain profile based on the experimental wavelength dependence of
the transition cross sections. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microw
