ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber amplifier is pumped by a pair of pump lasers which have at least partially overlapping resonators. In one embodiment, the fiber gain section of the amplifier is located external to the resonators. In another embodiment, the coupler, which couples the pump lasers to the gain section, is located at least partially within said resonators. In a preferred embodiment the resonators are provided with polarization selection properties, and the outputs of the pump lasers are coherent.
