Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA, that is, an optical signal amplifier with erbium ion Er3 + doped in the core of the signal passing through) is the first optical amplifier developed by the University of Southampton in the UK in 1985. It is the greatest optical amplifier in optical fiber communication. One of the inventions. Erbium-doped fiber is an optical fiber doped with a small amount of rare earth element erbium (Er) ions in a quartz fiber, and it is the core of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Since the late 1980s, the research work of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers has continuously made major breakthroughs. WDM technology has greatly increased the capacity of optical fiber communications. Become the most widely used optical amplifier device in current optical fiber communication.

Fluorescence imaging has been widely used in biomedical imaging and clinical intraoperative navigation. When fluorescence propagates in biological media, absorption attenuation and scattering disturbance will cause fluorescence energy loss and signal-to-noise ratio decrease, respectively. Generally speaking, the degree of absorption loss determines whether we can "see", and the number of scattered photons determines whether we can "see clearly". In addition, the autofluorescence of some biomolecules and signal light are collected by the imaging system and eventually become the background of the image. Therefore, for biofluorescence imaging, scientists are trying to find a perfect imaging window with low photon absorption and sufficient light scattering.

Generally speaking, when people talk about infrared light sources, they are referring to light with vacuum wavelengths greater than ~700–800 nm (the upper limit of the visible wavelength range).

ASE broadband light sources generate amplified spontaneous emission through rare-earth doped fibers (e.g., erbium-doped). Pumped by semiconductor lasers, excited ions emit photons, which are amplified to form a broad, flat spectrum (typically covering C-band 1530-1565nm and L-band 1565-1625nm) via gain-flattening filters.
