ABSTRACT:
A multi-amplification path optical amplifier including a first amplification path for propagating and amplifying a first in-band optical communication signal, including a spectrally selective filter for substantially blocking the propagation and amplification of an out-of-band optical communication signal along the first amplification path, and a second amplification path for propagating and amplifying a second in-band optical communication signal, including a spectrally selective filter for substantially blocking the propagation and amplification of an out-of-band optical communication signal along the second amplification path, wherein the location of the spectrally selective filters in each respective amplification path is selected so that a target noise figure performance and a target output power performance can be obtained from the device. The spectrally selective insertion losses suppress crosstalk or optical leakage that gives rise to multipath interference, return loss, and self oscillation.
