Abstract
Optical amplifiers play a critical role in modern optical communication networks, enabling the transmission of vast amounts of data over long distances without the need for frequent signal regeneration. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of optical amplifiers, their key principles, and their applications in contemporary network architectures. The paper covers various types of optical amplifiers, including erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs), and Raman amplifiers, while also exploring the latest advancements and future prospects in the field. Furthermore, the paper discusses the challenges associated with optical amplifiers and potential mitigation strategies, thereby shedding light on the ever-evolving landscape of optical amplification in modern networks.
