Vincent Morin, Photonetics

Since the early demonstrations in 1987, optical amplifiers based on rare-earth-doped fibers have been widely recognized as key devices for achieving high-performance, high-capacity and long-distance transmission on optical fiber networks. The erbium-doped fiber amplifier is the best-known and most-frequently used optical amplifier. Its mature technology, combined with an outstanding reliability, make it the ideal element for both terrestrial or submarine, analog or digital optical fiber communication systems in the 1.55-mm window. These devices amplify the lightwave signal in the optical...Read full article
