This article presents an application of a recently published probabilistic model for traveling wave optical amplification. Both optical signal and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise are modeled as bunches of photons traveling along the amplifying region with size varying according to simple random rules. The results of the theory enable one obtain a complete and accurate characterization of the signal and noise counting at the amplifier output.

Abstract

This article presents an application of a recently published probabilistic model for traveling wave optical amplification. Both optical signal and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise are modeled as bunches of photons traveling along the amplifying region with size varying according to simple random rules. The results of the theory enable one obtain a complete and accurate characterization of the signal and noise counting at the amplifier output.
