“…Commercially available optical fibers are most commonly made of glass materials. Providing resistances to wet, corrosive and high temperature environments with low optical attenuation, glasses are ideal for various fiber-optic applications including telecommunications [28], medical imaging and light guides [24], and architectural illuminations [29].…”

With ever growing interest in far-reaching solutions for pervasive healthcare and medicine, polymer optical fibers have been rendered into textile forms. Having both fiber-optic functionalities and traditional fabric-like comfort, textile-integrated polymer optical fibers have been advocated to remove the technical barriers for long-term uninterrupted health monitoring and treatment. In this context, this paper spotlights and reviews the recently developed textile-integrated polymer optical fibers in conjunction with fabrication techniques, applications in long-term continuous health monitoring and treatment, and future perspectives in the vision of mobile health (mHealth), as well as the introductory basics of polymer optical fibers. It is designed to serve as a topical guidepost for scientists and engineers on this highly interdisciplinary and rapidly growing topic.

“…Optical amplifiers have been successfully incorporated in the field of fiber communication, accelerating the rate at which optical links are being deployed over the continents and the transoceanics. Today, this technology is fast becoming a major part of optical communications infrastructure in many countries around the world [1,2]. Therefore, in order to learn this technology at university level, we need to understand the procedure of optical amplification in fiber amplifiers from basic to advance.…”

We present the schematic representations for teaching the procedure of optical amplification in erbium and praseodymium doped fiber amplifiers by using rate equations models. The behaviour of these types of amplifiers is the same as three (for erbium ion) and four (for praseodymium ion) levels atomic systems, respectively. Most of the important characteristics of these amplifiers can be obtained from these simple models and their underlying assumptions. Hence, we can make use of these approaches for teaching the purposes of procedures in fiber amplifiers. For this aim, the gain performances of Er 3+ and Pr 3+ -doped fiber amplifiers are investigated at the educational level, using the temperature-dependent rate equation model. Summary 1-IntroductionFiber optic technology has been advancing at a surprising pace during the last three decades. It was about fifteen years ago that researchers showed the great potential of optical fiber doped with the rare-earth elements such as erbium and praseodymium, for application in long haul communications. Optical amplifiers have been successfully incorporated in the field of fiber communication, accelerating the rate at which optical links are being deployed over the continents and the transoceanics. Today, this technology is fast becoming a major part of optical communications infrastructure in many countries around the world [1,2]. Therefore, in order to learn this technology at university level, we need to understand the procedure of optical amplification in fiber amplifiers from basic to advance. From this point of view, the education and training programs will make easy to understand the procedure of optical amplification in fiber amplifiers. 2-Schematic Representations of AmplificationThis work will enable us to understand the basic physical concepts underlying three and four level fiber amplifiers and obtaining the signal gain of amplifiers by using rate equation models. Figure 1 shows the schematic representations of the energy levels and amplifications mechanism for Er3+ (left hand side of picture) and Pr3+ (right hand side of picture) ions doped in glass hosts.
