Abstract
An optical amplifier comprises a pumped Thulium doped fiber amplifier and a Raman amplifier provided in series. The Thulium doped fiber amplifier provides gain over a first wavelength range, and is range is extended by the Raman amplifier by suitable pumping. The Thulium amplifier operates in the S band, but the wavelength range is extended to the C band by the Raman amplifier. The amplifier thus has increased bandwidth, thereby allowing it to be used in higher capacity optical communications systems.
