Waveguide Amplifier Optimization

VPIcomponentMaker™ Optical Amplifiers supports detailed modeling and design of waveguide optical amplifiers, which are ideal as compact, low-cost amplifiers within OADMs. The sophisticated numerical models include:
• A built-in waveguide mode solver
• Bidirectional signal, pump and noise propagation as sampled or parameterized signals
• Flexible input file options to describe gain and absorption
• Higher-order effects: Er-Yb co-doping, Excited-State Absorption, Cross-relaxation and Upconversion Pair-induced interactions
