Abstract

Optical amplifiers have been studied for a long time, starting with optical amplification experiments carried out in 1960. At that time, the results did not confirm their practical application in the communications field. Around 1970, the first continuous oscillation of laser diodes (LDs) at room temperature was achieved. The initial development of optical devices as light sources in communications focused on LDs. From the mid 1980s, research into optical fiber amplifiers became active again. In 1985, low-loss optical fibers doped with rare-earth ions were developed, and in 1987, optical amplification using an erbium-doped single-mode fiber was successfully carried out. Furthermore, in 1989, successful transmission experiments were reported. Through those transmission experiments, optical amplifiers were designated a new technology, leading to a new era in optical communications.
