| Distinct from | desurvire1987highgain Independent and near-simultaneous: both report a working erbium-doped fibre amplifier in 1987, Mears et al. from Southampton in Electronics Letters and Desurvire et al. from Bell Labs in Optics Letters. Different groups, different journals, same result -- neither supersedes or reprints the other, and a reader meeting one should know the other exists. |

Abstract
High gain amplification of up to 28 dB has been observed in a 3m-long erbium-doped fibre. The amplifier has a spectral bandwidth of greater than 300 GHz in the region of 1.536μm and a measured sensitivity of -42dBm at a bit rate of 140Mbit/s.
