Noise and quantum conversion efficiency(QCE) of ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier are researched theoretically in this paper. From the rate and propagation equations describing ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier system, the noise and QCE are calculated, and the effect of pump power, Yb doped concentration, and device length on noise and QCE is also discussed with 975nm pump wavelength.
