A group of equations deduced from TDFA (thulium-doped fiber amplifier) rate equations and light propagation equations, introducing the overlapping factors between the (pump and signal) light intensities and the thulium dopant distributions inside the fiber core, is presented in this paper. Using the group of equations, the gain characteristics of the amplifier are calculated.
