Abstract

The chapter provides a discussion of optical fiber amplifiers and through three sections provides a detailed treatment of three types of optical fiber amplifiers, erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), Raman amplifiers, and parametric amplifiers. Each section comprises the fundamentals including the basic physics and relevant in-depth theoretical modeling, amplifiers characteristics and performance data as a function of specific operation parameters. Typical applications in fiber optic communication systems and the improvement achievable through the use of fiber amplifiers are illustrated.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The signal length \(L_{\mathit{eff}}^{s}\) is defined through the relation \(P_{s}^{0}L_{\mathit{eff}}^{s} = \int_{0}^{L} P_{s}(z)dz\), where \(P_{s}^{0}\) is the signal power at \(z = 0\). In the absence of gain and assuming that the loss rate at the signal and pump wavelength are identical, the signal effective length equals the Raman effective length in (12.23).
