Chapter 10

When all input sources are turned off and the output is properly terminated, there is a level of noise called the noise floor that determines the smallest signal for which the circuit is useful.

What''s the deal with placing amps directly on the floor?

I see this practice a lot, and then I see amps placed on some sort of low-rise platform. I would think the latter is the preferred method, so I''m a little...

Optical Amplifiers – optical amplification

Ultrafast AmplifiersGain SaturationDetrimental Effects of High GainAmplifier NoiseFor high gain, weak parasitic reflections can cause parasitic lasing, i.e., oscillation without an input signal, or additional output components not caused by the input signal. This effect then limits the achievable gain. Even without any parasitic reflections, amplified spontaneous emissionmay extract a significant power from an amplifier.See more on rp-photonics ScienceDirect
