Highly Accurate Measurement-Based Gain Model for Constant-Pump EDFA for non-Flat WDM Inputs

We develop a simple and accurate measurement-based model to predict the gain of wideband erbium-doped fiber amplifiers with a root mean square error of 0.05 dB, lower than state-of-the-art models based on machine learning techniques.
