An optical amplifier is a device which receives some input optical
signal and generates an output optical signal with higher power
without the conversion to an electrical signal during the
intermediate stages. The amplification process takes place in a
so-called gain medium. Most optical amplifiers are laser
amplifiers. Their gain media are either insulators doped with some
laser-active ions or semiconductors. The amplification process in
such amplifiers is based on stimulated emission. Moreover, various
types of optical non-linearities can be used for optical
amplification in addition to stimulated emission. This book
presents leading edge research on optical amplifiers from
researchers spanning the globe.
