Solitons are special type of optic pulses which can go hundreds of kilometers without having any distortion. On the other hand, EDFA's are optical amplifiers that are commercially preferred for the wavelengths of around 1550 nm where silica Fiber's attenuation is minimum. Supposing that the attenuation of optical amplifiers are eliminated properly, the total transmition length of soliton based communication systems are limited by the timing jitter. In this study, a new model is presented for EDFA's which also includes practical parameters on how to control the timing jitter of a soliton based fiber optic communication systems based on the mathematical model of reference number 1 in the references. The behavior of the EDFA's against timing jitter and gain & noise performance were investigated and presented using simulations. As a result, it was obtained that solitons with proper phase difference minimized the jitter effect and increased the system performance based on the interactions of the Gordon Haus and limiting timing jitter in reference 1.
