optical amplifier A device that boosts light signals in an optical fiber network. Unlike regenerators, which have to convert light to electricity in order to amplify it and then convert it back again to light, the optical amplifier amplifies the light signal itself. Developed in the late 1980s, the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) was the first successful optical amplifier. See EDFA.optical amplifier [′äp·tə·kəl ′am·plə‚fī·ər] (engineering) An optoelectronic amplifier in which the electric input signal is converted to light, amplified as light, then converted back to an electric signal for the output.

No references found | RED-C), a leading provider of integrated optical subsystems based on state-of-the-art optical amplification and monitoring technology, and Proximion, a world leading provider of dispersion compensation solutions, today announced their cooperation in promoting an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) design optimized to take advantage of the unique properties of DCM technology. A better cost-for-performance amplifier is the result--one that can amplify, as an example, more than 8-channels at 10 Gb/s over the entire C-band without the high price that accompanies Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs), and without the need for expensive gain flattening filters, laser pump hardware or transient control circuitry. BUSINESS WIRE)--March 14, 2002 Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) today introduced two new advanced erbium fibers designed to improve the performance of L-Band and extended L-Band erbium doped fiber amplifiers. |
