ABSTRACT:
An optical system includes an optical amplifier having a laser active substance and a first laser that generates pump light at a first wavelength for the laser active substance, a second laser which generates light a second wavelength selected so that the light of the second wavelength can be amplified in the optical amplifiers, a first coupler for coupling the light of the second wavelength into the optical amplifier, a third laser which generates light at a third wavelength, and a second coupler for coupling light of the third wavelength into the optical amplifier. The wavelength of the light generated by the third laser is selected so that amplification of the light of the second wavelength on the basis of the pump light can be controlled as a function of the intensity of the light generated by the third laser.
