Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) obtained a wide range of applications in research and commercial applications in optical fiber communication systems. It has been considered as an attractive solution because of several major advantages - low loss optical window of silica based fiber (1525-1565 nm), high energy efficiency (>50 %) and time constant enough to cover modulation noises. However, the presence of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), the difficulty in implementing a WDM system - the EDFA gain spectrum is wavelength dependent and it applies as SNR differential between channels after passing through a cascade of EDFA.

Keywords
EDFA, multichannel transmission system, optical signal, amplification.
