Abstract
We describe a new method to determine the Er3+-fiber gain coefficient using a dynamic gain tilt technique. The method is based on attenuation measurem ent, gain measurements and crossover optimization of dynamic gain tilt. Res ults demonstrate that this method is very simple, highly accurate and espec ially useful for extended band erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA's) desig n.
