is 980 nm or 1480 nm and is used to provide energy.
The function of the coupler is to couple the input
optical signal and the pump light into the erbium-
doped fiber, and transfer the energy of the pump light
to the input optical signal through the erbium-doped
fiber to realize the energy amplification of the input
optical signal. In order to obtain a larger output
optical power and a lower noise figure and other
parameters, the actually used erbium-doped fiber
amplifier uses two or more pump source structures
with an isolator to isolate each other. In order to
obtain a wider and flatter gain curve, a gain flattening
filter is also added.
The EDFA is mainly composed of five parts: an erbium-
doped fiber (EDF), an optical coupler (WDM), an
optical isolator (ISO), an optical filter, and a pumping
supply.

Commonly used pump sources include 980 nm and
1480 nm. These two pump sources have higher
pumping efficiency and are therefore more used. The
980 nm pump source has a lower noise figure; the
1480 nm pump source is more efficient and can
achieve higher output power (about 3 dB higher than
the 980 nm pump source).
