The pump power and thulium-doped fiber (TDF) length for both single-pass and double-pass Thulium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (TDFA) are theoretically optimized by solving differential equations. The 1050 nm pump is used to provide both ground-state and excitedstate absorptions for amplification in the S-...
