| Abstract: | Recent research on erbium-doped fiber amplifiers and their applications to trunk and distribution networks is described. Simple methods to estimate amplification performances from only three basic erbium-doped fiber parameters are proposed. It is clarified that optical amplifiers greatly influence the development of future optical communication systems |
