Memristor Based Gain-Varying PI Control for Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs)

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

In this research, the focus is on Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), crucial components in optical communication systems. Traditional control systems face challenges in control complexity and cost-effectiveness. This research addresses this challenge by introducing a novel approach—incorporating memristor-based Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers. The methodology involves integrating memristor into a comprehensive EDFA control system simulation. The study conducts a comparative analysis between memristor-based PI controllers and traditional analog PI control systems, emphasizing simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and gain-varying control. Stability analysis, employing the Root Locus method, offers insights into the robustness of the memristor-based PI EDFA control system. The outcomes of this study provide a foundation for more efficient, and cost-effective EDFA control solutions. This research, therefore, not only addresses a specific technical challenge but also opens avenues for innovation in the broader landscape of optical communication systems.
