Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents the most recent design and system applications of this rapidly advancing technology. With specific focus on the latest telecommunication engineering aspects, this volume shows how to cut design time and effort dramatically. The book: reviews all significant properties of optical fibre identifiers; presents accurate models for erbium, neodymium- and praseodymium-doped fibre amplifiers and weighs the advantages of fibre amplifier optimization; describes the relevant 800-nm, 980-nm and 1480-nm pump bands for 1500-nm amplifiers and features practical design data; evaluates 1400-nm amplifiers and discussed how significant improvements can be obtained for neodymium- and praseodymium-doped amplifiers.
