| Abstract: | Contents Optical amplifiers are important building blocks in nowaday's optical communication system. Their noise behavior differs considerably from that of electrical amplifiers. Theory is reviewed and supplemented by examples that allow to estimate the performance of optical transmission systems. In particular, a correct optical noise figure definition is explained.
