ABSTRACT:
An optical signal amplifier capable of compensating the attenuation of optical signals during transmission is provided. The optical signal amplifier includes: a substrate having first and second surfaces opposing each other and a recess formed on the first surface; an LED (light emitting diode) mounted within the recess to output pumping light; and an SRSO (silicon rich silicon oxide) optical amplifier for amplifying an input optical signal using the pumping light and outputting the amplified signal.
