An electronic amplifier, amplifier, or (informally) amp is an electronic device that increases the power of a signal. It does this by taking energy from a power supply and controlling the output to match the input signal shape but with a larger amplitude. Amplifier design relies on feedback mechanism. Offsets that accumulate in different stages of amplifier are corrected by feedback mechanism. ...

A scheme for realizing a photon number amplifier by use of a high-quantum-efficiency photodetector and a number-state semiconductor laser is analyzed. It is found that the photon number amplifier is not significantly limited by the electronic amplifier noise or by the laser quantum efficiency for input states that are nearly classical.

Abstract The operational amplifier is an extremely efficient and versatile device. Its applications span the broad electronic industry filling requirements for signal conditioning, special transfer functions, analog instrumentation, analog computation, and special systems design. The analog assets of simplicity and precision characterize circuits utilizing operational amplifiers. In this paper ...

The tradition of implementing analogue circuits by means of voltage amplifiers is almost as old as the concept of electronic circuit design. The integrated electronic circuit, however, is a relatively new concept. Furthermore, integrated electronic circuits have significantly different limitations and strengths to the conventional discrete electronic circuits have. Since the active devices in i...
