Abstract
An optical amplifier to reduce signal loss by reducing crosstalk, and method therefor. A demultiplexer isolates an optical signal into a first wavelength band and a second wavelength band. The first and second wavelength bands are separately amplified in first and second optical amplifiers, respectfully, first and second optical amplifies each including cutoff filters to cutoff the wavelength band not corresponding to the particular amplifier. Optical receiving elements monitor light input to the first and second optical amplifiers and receive crosstalk signals on an output side.
