G

The parameters used to model erbium doped fiber amplifiers. The Giles parameters are α(λ) the absorption spectrum per unit length, and g*(λ) the emission spectrum per unit length. These quantities are related to the erbium ion concentration (doping density) N₀, overlap integral, Г(λ), and the radially averaged absorption and emission cross sections, σ_a(λ) and σ_e(λ).
