Abstract
The invention pertains to optical fiber transmission systems, and is particularly relevant to optical transport systems employing optical amplifiers. In particular the invention teaches an apparatus and method that allows cost effective co-directional operation of an optical amplifier to support full duplex traffic on a single fiber, and the design of an optical fiber transmission system based on this optical amplifier technology.
