discrete amplification

A type of amplification that occurs in a single, discrete location. Also known as

lumped amplification. Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), and most amplifiers, perform the process of amplification on a discrete, or lumped, basis. See also amplifier, distributed amplification, EDFA, and Raman amplifier.
