The optical amplifier (5) includes a first gain medium (10a) that contains a rare earth dopant and a first pump (20a) that supplies optical energy at a first wavelength into this first gain medium (10a). The first pump operates at a pump wavelength that has a lower inversion saturation than the highest wavelength of absorption of the first gain medium. The optical amplifier further comprises a second gain medium (10b) operatively coupled to the first gain medium (10a) and a second pump (20b) that supplies optical energy into the second gain medium.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 27, 2000. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 27, 2020.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 27, 2022.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
