Adjusting the Brillouin spectrum in optical fibers for slow and fast
... Fig. 2 Pump source for the adjustment of the Brillouin spectrum. If the bandwidth of the gain is narrow the time delay is high but the pulses experience a strong distortion which leads to a broadening. The natural Brillouin bandwidth would result in data rates which could be delayed of only 15Mbit/s ...

Optical amplifier

An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from the cavity is suppressed. Optical amplifiers are important in optical communication and laser physics.There are several different physical mechanisms that can be used to amplify a light signal, which correspond to the major types of optical amplifiers. In doped fibre amplifiers and bulk lasers, stimulated emission in the amplifier's gain medium causes amplification of incoming light. In semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), electron-hole recombination occurs. In Raman amplifiers, Raman scattering of incoming light with phonons in the lattice of the gain medium produces photons coherent with the incoming photons. Parametric amplifiers use parametric amplification.
