3.6: Fiber amplifiers
Both amplification methods have their benefits: at low signal powers, amplification via Erbium ion emission is much more efficient. However, the gain is intrinsically limited by the number of

Understanding dB and dBm in Fiber Optic Communications
Notably, 0 dBm = 1 mW, which means positive dBm values represent power levels greater than 1 mW, while negative dBm values represent power levels less than 1 mW.

OTDR: Two-Way Optical Fiber Measurement
Each optical fiber has its own backscattered light value, or level. Since the connection loss for fibers with different backscatter levels varies according to the measurement direction, correct loss assessment

When a Loss Is Positive: Fiber optic measurements
However, many people find it confusing that, with a power meter, decibel loss is a negative number, while, with an OLTS or OTDR, it is a positive number. The explanation is simple: it''s like profit and loss.
