We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical amplifier", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Testing technique handles new architectures from Exfo Electro-Optical Engineering, which we summarised at the time by saying "Exfo developed a new testing technique to perform accurate signal and noise measurements in all types of networks, from legacy to ROADM-based architectures". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Multichannel optical switches cut their losses from Nu Horizons Electronics Corp: "Oki's mechanical multichannel optical switches incorporate micro-optics technology to achieve a maximum of 1.5dB insertion loss, thus eliminating the need for an optical amplifier".
In March 2006, we covered the news from Oki Electric - take a look at Distance breakthrough for speedy transceiver which says: "Oki Electric reports success in transmitting 160Gbit/s data over a distance of 635km".
Take a look also at the news release from Bookham, Dollar decline hits Bookham bottom line, as well as Bookham signs up for further fusion splicers from Vytran Corp, and Acquisition to boost optical amp capabilities from Bookham.
