ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an optical amplifier comprising an input and a beamsplitter connected by a first optical fiber arranged to transmit an optical signal from said input to said beamsplitter via an optical amplifying means and an optical isolator. The optical amplifier includes a second optical fiber connected between said input and said beam splitter and is arranged to transmit a second signal from said beamsplitter to said input. Preferably, the optical amplifier also incorporates an optical element which is adapted to prevent any signal from said input propagating along said second optical fiber and to prevent any signal from said second optical fiber from propagating along said first optical fiber.
