A novel all-optical gain-controlled (AOGC) bidirectional amplifier is proposed and demonstrated in a compact structure. The AOGC function using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) pairs controls both directional signals independently, and combinations of optical interleavers and isolators suppress Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise. The amplifier achieves high and constant gain with a wide dynamic input signal range and low noise figure. The performance does not depend on the input signal conditions, whether static-state or transient signals, or whether there is symmetric or asymmetric data traffic on bidirectional transmission. Transmission comparison experiments between invariable symmetrical and random variable asymmetric bidirectional data traffic verify that the all-optical gain control and bidirectional amplification functions are successfully combined into this proposed amplifier.

We studied the effect of gain recovery at the optical fiber amplifier by the input pulse trains. We also theoretically analyzed the limitation of the saturation and recovery time for the PDFA(Praseodymium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) which has the spectral gain at 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ band. We can predict the interval between the pulse train, pump power, and the effect of the saturation and recovery time which is affected to the amplification of the optical pulse.

In this paper, we studied the transient gain response in TDFA(Thulium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) theoretically. We also investigated the limitation of the gain saturation and recovery time when the short pulse trains are incident into the TDFA with the spectral gain band in 1.47${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for using at WDM. We can predict the interval between the pulse train, pump power and the effect of the saturation and recovery time which is affected to the amplification of the optical pulse.

A 9.6 dB gain is observed at 1310 nm in a 5.0 cm bismuth-doped silica fiber. A launched pump power of 100 mW was obtained using an 810-nm laser diode. We demonstrated the simultaneous optical amplification at two wavelengths near second telecommunication windows, which is the range of zero-dispersion for silica fibers.

The minimum detectable activity (MDA) value was derived according to the flow rate of the sample and degree of amplification of the device by sending the sample directly from the collection site to the detection part through a pump. This method can lead to reduction in time and cost compared to the existing measurement method that uses a pre-treatment process. In this study, experiments were conducted on $^3H$ and $^{90}Sr$, which are the major pure beta-emitting radionuclides, by setting the sample flow rate and the amplification gain as factors. The MDA values were derived according to the flow rates, considering that the flow rate can affect the MDA values. There were no change in the MDA under different flow rates of 0, 600, 800, and 1000 mL/min. Therefore, it was confirmed that the flow rate may not be considered when collecting samples for monitoring in actual field. As the degree of amplification of the amplifier increased, the time required to reach the target MDA decreased. When the amplification was quadrupled, the detection efficiency increased by approximately 23.4 times, and the time to reach the MDA decreased to approximately 1/550 times. This method offers the advantage of real-time on-site monitoring.

In this paper, we report the experimental results of a hybrid wideband fiber amplifier. The amplifying medium is a concatenated hybrid fiber consisting of Er-doped fiber (EDF) and dispersion compensating fiber (DCF). The gain mechanisms are based on stimulated emission in the EDF and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in the DCF. Since we simultaneously use optical amplification by the two processes, the gain bandwidth is easily expanded over 105 nm by a two-tone pumping scheme. Using an experimental setup constructed with a hybrid structure of EDF-DCF-EDF, we analyzed the spectral behavior of amplified spontaneous emission for pumping powers. We achieved an optical gain of over 20 dB in the wavelength range from 1,500 to 1,600 nm under optimized pumping conditions to make the spectral gain shape flat.

For multi parameter optimization of Raman Fiber Amplifier (RFA), a simple genetic algorithm is presented in the scenario of a 320 channel Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) system at channel spacing of 25 GHz. The large average gain (> 22 dB) is observed from optimized RFA with the optimized parameters, such as 39.6 km of Raman length with counter-propagating pumps tuned to 205.5 THz and 211.9 THz at pump powers of 234.3 mW, 677.1 mW respectively. The gain flattening filter (GFF) has also been optimized to further reduce the gain ripple across the frequency range from 190 to 197.975 THz for broadband amplification.

The sensitivity of transistorized d.c. amplifiers is mainly limited by drift at operating point caused by ambient temperature changes. A chopper-type transistorized amplifier is necessary to obtain a high sensitivity without recourse to drift compensation which requires the adjustment of several balancing controls. A chopper-stabilized system consisting of an electro-mechanical chopper for input and output and a high-gain a.c. amplifier is designed and analyzed. The gain of the a.c. amplifier, expressed as the ratio of voltages, is larger than 80db in the band of 50C/S - 100KC/S. The complete system gives an open-loop gain of 68db at direct current. The offset voltage is 20.mu.V referred in input and the voltage drift at the input is less than 10.mu.V/hr at 25.deg.C. This type of amplifier would be useful for the high-gain transistorized d.c. amplifier for analog computers. Also, due to the high input impedance, it is suitable for amplification of signals from wide range of source impedances.

A coupled-mode approach is used to analyze the interaction of the carrier wave in solid-state materials with the external slow electromagnetic wave. A general condition for an active coupling is derived. Gain characteristics is also examined as a function of operating frequency and thermal-to-drift veocity variations.
