Disclosed is a fiber amplifier system including a gain fiber having a single-mode core doped with active dopant ions capable of producing stimulated emission of light at wavelength .lambda.s when pumped with light of wavelength .lambda.p. Spliced to the gain fiber is a light-attenuating fiber having a core containing a dopant that attenuates light of wavelength .lambda.p but not .lambda.s. The amplifier is conventionally employed in a system including an incoming telecommunication fiber for introducing light of wavelength .lambda.s into an end of the gain fiber the amplified signal, being connected to an outgoing telecommunication fiber. The system further includes a pump source for …

Why it's free to use
- Filed December 12, 1991 and granted January 29, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 12, 2011.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 12, 2013.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
