Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) are a type of optical amplifier used in fiber optic communication systems to boost the strength of optical signals without converting them to electrical signals. EDFAs are essential components in long-haul and metro optical networks, enabling the transmission of data over vast distances with minimal signal degradation.

Optical Line Physical Parameters Calibration in Presence of EDFA Total Power Monitors

A method is proposed in order to improve QoT-E by calibrating the physical model parameters of an optical link post-installation, using only total power monitors integrated into the EDFAs and an OSA at the receiver.
