Abstract :
An overview is presented of the application of semiconductor optical amplifiers in optical transmission systems. The feasibility has been demonstrated for optical pre-amplification and in-line application in the form of two field trials and a number of laboratory experiments. Further experiments in the use of these amplifiers in WDM and analogue transmission is illustrated
