  • Optical fiber amplifier with reduced noise and method of making the same
    Patent number: 6519079
    Abstract: A method for amplifying optical signals and an optical fiber amplifier for accomplishing the same. An optical fiber is coupled to a source of pump light and a signal gain level is correlated to a dispersion value of the optical fiber that corresponds to a local minimum power level of a cross-talk signal generated by four wave mixing. Optical signals are transmitted through the optical fiber while admitting sufficient pump light into the fiber from the source to attain the selected Raman gain level.
