本文综述了光放大器噪声系数的理论基础，并提出了一种确定级联器件噪声系数的一致性方法。结果表明，当噪声系数用输入和输出信噪比定义时，该公式为采用光学和光电测量方法的测量技术提供了一致的理论公式。本文最后审查的噪声系数的表征测量技术。(C)北京大学出版社.
The theoretical basis for the noise figure of optical amplifiers is reviewed, and a consistent approach to determining the noise figure of cascaded components is developed, It is shown that when the noise figure is defined in terms of the input and output signal-re-noise ratios, the formulation provides a consistent theoretical formulation for measurement techniques using optical and optoelectronic measurement methods. The paper concludes with a review of measurement techniques for characterization of the noise figure. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
