Abstract :
In this paper we review our recent research activities on optical burst amplification. In a gain-stabilized amplifier the optical burst transmission may generate complex dynamics. Here a thoroughly investigation of this phenomenon is carried out based on theoretical and experiment data. The impact on optical burst switching network is discussed.
