Abstract
An optical system and method for seeding an optical transmitter includes a first optical transmitter comprising a first reflective optical amplifier and a second optical transmitter comprising a second reflective optical amplifier. The second optical transmitter is optically coupled to the first optical transmitter. The optical system also includes an optical cavity for seeding the first reflective optical amplifier with a first optical seed signal. The optical cavity is formed between the first reflective optical amplifier of the first optical transmitter and the second reflective optical amplifier of the second optical transmitter. The first reflective optical amplifier is configured to transmit a first optical signal to the second reflective optical amplifier and the second reflective optical amplifier is configured to provide the first optical seed signal by reflecting a portion of the first optical signal back to the first reflective optical amplifier.
