Use of a genetic algorithm to optimize multistage erbium-doped fiber-amplifier systems with complex structures

Abstract: We propose optimizing multifunctional multistage erbiumdoped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) with complex structures by use of a genetic algorithm. With this method, we investigated optimum configurations of C- and L-band gain-flattened multistage EDFAs containing gain-flattening filters and high-loss interstage elements for dense wavelength-division multiplexing systems in detail and compared the amplifiers with various kinds of configurations under different design criteria. With the guidance of optimization result… Show more

“…For a more general consideration, a bidirectional pumping structure is shown here. However, to achieve a better performance such as lower noise power, and to meet diverse requirements in various systems such as wide-band amplification, some additional optimized structures for EDFA are proposed [25][26][27][28]. In most typical commercial EDFAs, a two-stage amplification is applied to improve the amplifying efficiency and reduce the NF [29].…”

“…Genetic algorithms have been applied for the optimization of both the active erbium doped fiber and the EDFA [21]. In [135] a GA optimization applied to a more difficult problem of a multistage EDFA with complex structures which employed also gain flattening filters based on LPG as we show in a previous section. It is obvious that the combination of the gain flattening issues in the design process can produce a quite complex multiobjective optimization problem.…”
