Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers - Desurvire, Emmanuel (Columbia University)

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are an important technology for lightwave voice, video, and data transmission. This title covers such key areas as: modeling light amplification in Er-doped single-mode fibers; fundamentals of noise in optical fiber amplifiers; photodetection of optically amplified signals; and device and system applications of EDFAs.
