Optical Amplifiers

Optical amplifiers are devices that boost the strength of light signals traveling through fiber optic cables. They work by using a special material, such as a doped fiber or semiconductor, that can increase the intensity of the light without converting it back to an electrical signal. This process allows data to travel longer distances without losing quality, making them essential for telecommunications and high-speed internet. By amplifying the light directly, optical amplifiers enable faster and more efficient communication across vast networks, supporting modern connectivity.
