  • Thulium doped fiber pump for pumping Raman amplifiers
    Patent number: 6556342
    Abstract: An optical transmission system is provided comprising a thulium doped optical fiber, a light emitting pump device optically coupled to the thulium doped fiber, and a Raman amplifier fiber optically coupled to the thulium doped optical fiber. The light emitting pump device in combination with the thulium doped fiber generates a first amplification pump wavelength and the Raman amplifier receives the first amplification pump wavelength. The first pump wavelength amplifies an optical signal in the Raman amplifier, the Raman amplifier operating at a signal wavelength in the range of about 1530 nm to about 1625 nm.
