OPTICAL AMPLIFIERS

  An Optical Amplifier amplifies optical signal without converting it to electronic signal They can be placed anywhere along the Optical length of the fiber They can be bidirectional Optical Multiplexing is possible They accept signals of different wavelength and provides Amplification They use Stimulated Emission like LASER .But Optical amplifiers do not have Feedback mechanism. All Optical Amplifiers have an Active medium.There is an external source called Pump to supply energy to the medium.This raises the electrons in the active medium to higher energy levels.The incoming photon from the signal(input signal which is to be amplified) will excite the electrons to lower energy level resulting in the emission of photons thereby amplifying the signal Applications of Amplifier In Line amplifier- They are used in between Transmitter and receiver to increase the distance between them Pre Amplifier-They are used before the receiver to improve its sensitivity Transmission Booster- If Opt...
