EDFA stands for Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier. It is an optical amplifier that uses a short section of silica fiber doped with erbium ions as the gain medium. When this erbium-doped fiber is energized by a pump laser, it can transfer energy to optical signals within specific. An Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier, commonly known as an EDFA, addresses this problem by amplifying optical signals directly in the optical domain. Unlike an electrical repeater, an EDFA does not need to convert the incoming signal into an electrical signal and then back into light.
