Optical amplifiers have already deeply affected current thinking on optical fiber communications, and are likely to play an increasing role in the design of future systems. In this paper we review the principles of optical amplification and discuss briefly the operational characteristics of the main types of optical amplifiers and their main advantages and drawbacks.
