Thanks for the insightful video! Just one clarification of a common misconception: In your energy level diagram, L1, L2, and L3 are not single-electron energy levels... they represent the combined energy of all 11 4f electrons in a given erbium (III) ion. Each of those 11 electrons can have a different energy and state of its own, and the specific combinations of those single-electron states results in different 11-electron configurations that have different aggregate energies, e.g., L1, L2, and L3. So the black circles that go up and down represent individual Er(III) ions rather than electrons. When describing these mechanisms, it's better to say "this ion is excited / relaxes" or "this excited state is populated."
I have a question though. 1480nm excites electrons from L1 to L2. Then how could 1550nm photons be emitted again when transition occurs between L2 and L1?
That's what I'm wondering too. Even relaxing from l3 to l2 without emission makes me think energy is partly used for vibrations. Then when the originally l3 or originally l2 are relaxed to l1, if the energy released really is of the same wavelength as the lower energy light, does the remaining energy from those photons that brought the electrons to the excited states simply leave as heat or are the electrons still vibrating at l1?
Hi. sir i have a question? is central wavelength increases or decreases with the increase of pump power in erbium doped fiber laser cavity using saturable absorber?

this is the first time that i understand the EDFA states , thank you!!!
This is the best video i understood how is amplification done in FO. Thanks in advance for your presentation.

It's better to call these "black circles" black dots ;-)
Excellent description of EDFA amplification by Dr. Moazzam Tiwana, thank you, Sir.
Best video created ever in history of electronicss!!!!!!

Awesome explanation, thank you
what is the behaviour of centeral wavelength according to pump power?
why are we using 980 and 1480 nm laser pumps only? why not others?

Very nice explanation

very easy to understand!
thank you sir, very well explained
Well explained, thank you
Very nice explaination
good explanation
Thank you.
nice info
good
why we use erbium metal? why not other
Because Erbium gives you the energy states that matches with the operating bandwidth used for optical communication i.e C and L band
Pump laser is not LED; it's semiconductor laser !!
@Mr X LED can never be used for pumping
