Abstract

The operational bandwidth of optical fiber amplifiers has been expanded by developing rare-earth-doped fiber amplifiers and fiber Raman amplifiers (FRA), aiming at realizing ultra-broadband optical amplifiers in this decade. Especially, non-silica-based rare-earth-doped fiber amplifiers have played an important role in opening up new amplification bands. This paper reviews a development status of optical fiber amplifiers.
