The transient response in TDFA(Thulium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) is theoretically investigated. The TDFA has the spectral gain band in 1.47 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The transient model includes the transient buildup of the population inversion, the pump power, the signal power and their transient variation along the fiber amplifier. The results of numerical analysis can predict the gain saturation and recovery time at the fiber amplifier. It also shows the gain saturation and recovery effect depending on the pumping and saturation rate.

The unsaturated signal gain, signal gain bandwidth, and saturation power which are important parameters determining characteristics of the semiconductor laser amplifier were measured for an AlGaAs Fabry-Perot cavity type laser amplifier and compared with the results of Fabry-Perot formula. The unsaturated signal gain 25 dB is obtained near oscillation thereshold current at $0.7\mu\textrmW$ input power. The corresponding signal gain bandwidth was about 3 GHz. Also. We measured the variation of the saturation signal gain and saturation power.

The simulation code was developed to analyze the amplification properties of the regenerative amplifier, such as gain narrowing, nonlinear effect, and energy saturation. To reduce gain narrowing in the regenerative amplifier, the input pulse with a symmetrical shape and the same center wavelength of the active medium should be amplified in the active medium with a broad fluorescence linewidth. In this respect, Ti:Sapphire with a low nonlinear refractive index, a high saturation fluence, and a broad fluorescence linewidth is the most appropriate medium for the regenerative amplifier. The knowledge and the important parameters were acquired for the optimum design of the regenerative amplifier.

At Power amplifier, distortion of output is appeared because of non-linearlity, so we must study method of compensation for non-linearity. In this paper, it was studied about the characteristic of predistorter using serial schottky diode for an amplifier. As a result, we confirmed that power amplifier was able to linearize when we put predistorter using non-linearity of schottky diode before power amplifier. When input carrier level was low, input carrier was delivered directly into power amplifier but input carrier level was high, input carrier was delivered into power amplifier through predistorter with suppressed level. As a result power amplifier always was at saturation region. Through simulation using serenade 8.0, we have concluded that efficiency was improved about 3%, and predistorter got best linearity at 1.8㎓ between 800㎒∼2.2㎓.

This paper describes the development of a Ku-band ($12.25GHz\sim12.75GHz$) SSPA intended as a replacement for TWTAs used in communication satelite transponder. The power stage of the amplifier consists of tow intrmally matched 8W FET divices combined using the branch-line coupler. To operate this stage, the drive stage has been designed with intermally matched 2W, 4W, 8W FET and two medium power FETs. The entire amplifier is made up by a aluminum chassis housing both the RF circuit and the bias circuitry. A regrlator/sequencing circuitry is used for FET biasing. The amplifier results implemented in this way show $41\pm0.3dB$ small-signal gain, 15W saturation power, a typical two tone $IM_3=-21.5dBc$ with single carrier backed off 5dB from saturation, $2^*/dBmax$ AM/PM conversion, and $3.47\pm0.25nsec$ group delay.

We studied the effect of gain recovery at the optical fiber amplifier by the input pulse trains We also theoretically analyzed the limitation of the saturation and recovery time for the PDFA(Praseodymium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) which has the spectral gain at 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ band. We can predict the interval between the pulse train, pump power, and the effect of the saturation and recovery time which is affected to the amplification of the optical pulse.

In this paper, we studied the transient gain response in TDFA(Thulium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) theoretically. We also investigated the limitation of the gain saturation and recovery time when the short pulse trains are incident into the TDFA with the spectral gain band in 1.47${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for using at WDM. We can predict the interval between the pulse train, pump power and the effect of the saturation and recovery time which is affected to the amplification of the optical pulse.

This paper has been studied a predistorter which is able to linierizing of RF amplifier using schottkey. If input signal level is low, input signal is delivered directly. And if input signal level is high, input signal Is delivered with decreasing. So RF amplifier always works at saturation region .When this predistorter is used to simplified C-class RF amplifier, we have concluded that efficiency is improved about 3%.

A novel all-optical NOR gate is proposed and demonstrated for the first time by use of gain saturation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). It is operated by the nonlinearity of the SOA gain. Hence, to obtain sufficient gain saturation of the SOA, pump signals are amplified by an Er-doped fiber amplifier at the input of the SOA. The operation characteristics of the all-optical NOR gate are successfully measured at 10 Gbit/s.
