  • Optical transmission system and related remote optically pumped amplifier (ROPA) and method
    Patent number: 10313020
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a remote optically pumped amplifier (ROPA). The ROPA includes a bypass filter configured to receive an optical signal and first pump power and to separate the optical signal and the first pump power. The ROPA also includes an amplifier configured to receive the optical signal from the bypass filter and to amplify the optical signal. The ROPA further includes an optical combiner/multiplexer configured to receive the first pump power from the bypass filter, receive at least second and third pump powers, combine at least two of the first, second and third pump powers, and provide different pump powers or combinations of pump powers to different locations within the ROPA to feed the amplifier.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 4, 2019
    Assignee: Neptune Subsea IP Limited
    Inventors: Do-Il Chang, Philippe Andre Perrier, Herve A. Fevrier
