The SCAMPER methodSCAMPER method is a creative thinking technique that systematically generates innovative ideas and solutions for improving existing products, processes, or services. This study applied SCAMPER to a basic science project in telecommunicationsTelecommunicactions, focusing on a system that exhibit chaotic, bistable, and multistable behaviors. The result is the development of an innovative scientific product: “Enhancing optical power in an array of erbium-doped fiber lasersErbium-doped fiber lasers by controlling multistabilityMultistability.” Significant optical power amplificationOptical power amplification was achieved by designing an experimental array of three erbium-doped fiber lasersErbium-doped fiber lasers (EDFLs) in a one-master, two-slave configuration, effectively reducing the need for repeater stations inTelecommunicactions telecommunication systems. The methodology examined the dynamic evolution of the system, analyzing temporal variations for each laser individually and in combination. Using SCAMPER’s filters–Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Propose, Eliminate, and Reorder facilitated targeted decisions that enhanced the system’s design and performance. This work highlights SCAMPER’s flexibility as a tool for fostering innovative applications, achieving practical results, and demonstrating its utility in addressing complex challenges.
