In this paper the analysis of Wavelength Division Multiplexing PON (WDM) network is
done incorporating Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) using Optisystem software. The goal of
this paper is to analyse the EDFA and make the best performance for a wavelength division
multiplexing network. The optical amplifier behaviour is studied for different parameters and their
results are optimized for better performance. In WDM networks optical fibers are used and they
suffer from heavy loss due to attenuation and dispersion. So in order to reduce these attenuation
losses optical amplifiers are used. As the length of the amplifier and pumping power is increased, the
Bit Error Rate reduces
