Abstract

Small erbium-doped (amplets) and semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) will be used in current and future Metro and Enterprise networks in various configurations. Many new system architectures will be enabled as these low-cost technologies are used to compensate transmission and impairment-compensating component losses. This tutorial discusses the definition, use, and technologies associated with these new classes of optical amplifiers, which, though little, will impact next generation networks in a big way.
