Headline: A new optical amplifier is changing the game.
Article: Modern communication networks rely on optical signals to transmit massive amounts of data. However, like weak radio signals, these optical signals need amplification to travel long distances without degrading. For decades, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) have been the standard solution, extending transmission range without requiring frequent signal regeneration. Despite their effectiveness, EDFAs operate within a limited spectral range, restricting the growth of optical networks.

With the demand for high-speed data transmission increasing – driven by AI accelerators, data centers, and high-performance computing – existing optical amplifiers are showing their limitations. Researchers are now exploring ways to develop more powerful, flexible, and compact amplifiers to keep up with rising data needs.
