Editorial Reviews

Presents a review of the properties of optical fiber amplifiers, with a specific focus on the telecommunication engineering aspects. Highly accurate models for erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are compared both experimentally and theoretically for the relevant pump bands, where semiconductor laser pump diodes are obtainable. Other topics include an evaluation of fiber designs, practical designs with applications in digital direct detection systems, trunk systems with lumped and distributed gain, and a review of amplifier applications in systems.
