Amplification of a C-band and L-band of a optical signal using a common laser signal

摘要

A fiber optic system implementing an amplification system is disclosed that provides distributed optical amplification through remote pump technology. The fiber optic system is comprised of a transmitting system, an amplification system, and a receiving system. The amplification system is comprised of a signal processing system and a laser system. The transmitting system transmits an optical signal that includes a C-band and L-band to the signal processing system. Concurrently, the laser system receives a single laser signal and transfers the single laser signal to the signal processing system. The signal processing system receives the single laser signal and the optical signal that includes the C-band and L-band, and combines the optical signal and the single laser signal to amplify the C-band and L-band of the optical signal.
