<p>A packaged optical amplifier assembly includes an erbium doped silica based optical amplifying fibre (330) co-pumped and counter-pumped by a pair of laser diodes (336) as optical pumps. The optical pumps (336) are each coupled to an end (332, 340) of the fibre (330) by reflection from a dichroic mirror (328), the optical signal being collimated and arranged to propagate unguided between the input (306) and the first end (332), and the second end (340) and the output (346), and optical pump light from each optical pump (336) being collimated and arranged to propagate unguided between the optical pump (336) and the end of the fibre (332, 340) to which it is coupled.</p> |
