ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of modeling an optical fiber amplifier, the method being characterized in that it comprises the steps consisting in:establishing (100) the speed equations and the propagation equations of physical phenomena or effects involved in an optical fiber amplifier;obtaining (112) exact analytic solutions for the propagation equations of signals in the fiber, discretizing them, and interpolating them along the fiber;solving (120) the previously discretized speed equations by injecting into them solutions obtained from the propagation equations; anddelivering (130) the performance parameters of the fiber in terms of amplification.
