Electronic – The Pole Frequency of OP AMP 741

frequency responseoperational-amplifierpole-zeroplot

I am working on MatLab simulation software to plot a Bode plot in the Matlab Environment. The open loop transfer function is $$a(s) = \frac{a_0}{(1+s/\omega_1)(1+s/\omega_2)}$$

Where \$\omega_1\$ and \$\omega_2\$ are pole frequencies (on the assumption that the op amp has 2 pole) and \$a_0\$ is the open loop DC gain of the op-amp.

To plot a bode plot for general purpose op-amp 741 we know that \$a_0=2\times 10^5\$.

But what are the pole frequencies (\$\omega\$) for op-amp 741?

Datasheet is attached in this link.

Looking only at the datasheet you provide, the line you should be referring is the "bandwidth". The value is 437 kHz (minimum), 1.5 MHz (typical). The assumption they make here is that only one pole is present, or rather meaningful to the designer.

If you want more information, search for other datasheets that have a gain vs frequency plot, and measure the pole(s) frequency(ies) from the plot.

Finally, if there is no particular reason for which you are referring to the uA741, you might want to consider switching op amp. The 741 is extremely old, and the info you can find on it is a bit more limited with respect to a modern op amp.
