The transmission equation for describing soliton amplification in Er 3+ ‐doped optical fibers is derived from the semiclassical theory. To the best of our knowledge, excited‐state absorption is considered for the first time in such an equation. The doping shape, pump and signal lightwave modes, and spectral‐broadening function are also included. This equation is a general one that is widely applicable to the analysis and optimization of doped fibers for soliton amplification. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
