Abstract—We present a simple analysis and comparison between the theoretical and experimental results, in
an erbium-doped optical fiber operating in the superluminescent regime. Experimental results for different
pumping power levels and fiber length shows, that the theoretical results given for the numerical model could
render useful information for predicting parameters such as total output power. These types of sources could
have direct application in wavelength multiplexed arrangements of fiber sensors, fiber gyroscopes or in general,
in any sensors in which a broad wavelength and stable light source is required.
