Gain
In electronics, gain is a measure of the ability of a circuit to increase the power or amplitude of a signal. It is usually defined as the mean ratio of the signal output of a system to the signal input of the same system. It may also be defined as the decimal logarithm of the same ratio.Thus, the term gain on its own is ambiguous. For example, 'a gain of five' may imply that either the voltage or the power is increased by a factor of five. In laser physics, gain may refer to the increment of power along the beam propagation, and its dimension is m-1 (inverse meter) or 1/meter.
