Hi Fayiqa,

The optical amplifier component acts as a black box optical amplifier in OptiSystem, meaning it can be any type of optical amplifier. You would just need to define the characteristics such as gain and noise figure. You wouldn’t have to design its parameters in the way you have to do for EDFA.
