Amplification in an optical fibre transmission system at a wavelength lambda s is obtained by coupling the fibre of the transmission system to the input of a single-crystal fibre laser (1), the output of which is coupled to a length of optical fibre (2) comprising an amplifier fibre. The single-crystal fibre laser and amplifier fibre comprise an optical amplifier. The fibre laser is pumped by LEDs (3) and emits pump signals at a wavelength lambda p, the signal wavelength lambda 5 being one Stokes shift away from the pump wavelength lambda s. When the power emerging from the fibre laser at wavelength lambda p is large enough, the pump signal interacts with the signal of wavelengths lambda s in the amplifier fibre (2) and gain is obtained at the signal wavelength lambda s. |
