Abstract
An optical transmission system transmits an optical signal. The optical transmission system may include an optical amplifier. The optical amplifier amplifies a received optical signal. A pumping light source outputs a pumping light beam and monitor information or supervisory information. This optical amplifier is adapted to amplify the received optical signal by propagating the received optical signal. An optical fiber which may be doped with a rare-earth element. An optical coupler couples the received optical signal and a first pumping light beam to the input of the optical fiber. Through propagation of the signal through the optical fiber, the received optical signal is amplified.
