Seeing the light with nist's new noiseless optical amplifier

(Phys.org) -- Most devices that amplify light suffer from the same problem: making the image brighter also adds muddying distortion. Scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated ...

Giant optical gain in a rare-earth-ion-doped microstructure

Prof. Markus Pollnau and co-workers at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente (The Netherlands) have developed a rare-earth-ion-doped optical amplifier with performance comparable to semiconductor ...

Dutch team provides alternative to optical semiconductor amplifiers

Researchers at the University of Twente's MESA+ research institute have developed a material capable of optical amplifications that are comparable to those achieved by the best, currently available semiconductor optical amplifiers. ...

Novel optical amplifier without the noise
