Abstract
Reviews some of the recent advances in semiconductor laser amplifiers and highlights some of the device and system issues connected with the use of optical amplifiers. Particular attention is given to noise properties, system applications (i.e. in-line amplifiers, power amplifiers, and receiver preamplifiers), and nonlinear effects. Finally, semiconductor amplifiers are compared with fiber amplifiers
