The method involves coupling pump light (P2) into a light conductor (OW) of the optical transmission system in the opposite direction to the transmission direction of the WDM signals (S1'). The pump light has a frequency spectrum such that at least one selected WDM signal is individually amplified by a Brillouin scattering process stimulated by the pump light independently of at least one non-selected WDM signal. <??>Independent claims are also included for the following: an optical amplifier for a wavelength multiplex or WDM transmission system, a broadband optical amplifier system and a WDM transmission system. |
