Recent progress in fiber amplifier technology is reviewed. Broad band and high power are currently the key goals in the field of fiber amplifiers in conjunction with amplified system development. Broad-band EDFAs using fluoride-based hosts and high-power EDFAs with powerful pump lasers are described in detail. Recent progress and other requirements for optical amplifiers i.e. high gain, low noise, and high reliability, are all reviewed. The limitations in relation to achievable gain are described as well as the highest gain ever achieved. A method for its reduction are described. In relation to reliability, this paper mainly focuses on fluoride fiber. Recent progress on the main characteristics of 1.3 µm PDFA is reviewed and transmission experiment are described. Several attempts to construct fiber amplifiers operating at 0.8 µm, 1.4 µm, and 1.65 µm are also reviewed. In the field of amplified systems, WDM and remote pumping TDM techniques are a high priority. In particular, various WDM experiments such as long-distance WDM transmission, WDM soliton transmission, and WDM networks are all described in detail.
