Abstract Based on the photon statistics master equation of the linear amplifier, this paper presents a theoretical evaluation of the following important amplifier parameters: the output mean photon number, the standard deviation, the Fano factor, the statistical fluctuation and the spontaneous emission factor for single and double pass configurations and for forward and backward pumping schemes in the case of an Er3+-doped LiNbO3 waveguide amplifier. The simulations were performed using the small gain approximation and the above-mentioned device characteristics versus pump powers, waveguide length and signal wavelength are evaluated.
