ABSTRACT:
A fiber amplifier system and method are provided for reducing noise produced by a fiber amplifier by combining an optical signal to be amplified with a continuous wave optical signal that stimulates ions in the fiber amplifier to reduce photons produced by spontaneous emission when a level of the optical signal of interest is very low or zero.
