Small Signal Gain
Optical Gain for small signal intensities where no Amplifier saturation occurs.
The small-signal gain of a gain medium is the gain obtained for an input signal which is so weak that it does not cause any gain saturation. In continuous-wave operation this means that everywhere in the gain medium the signal Intensity is well below the saturation intensity
