Abstract
In one embodiment, an optical system for amplifying space-multiplexed optical signals includes an input fiber that propagates multiple spatially-separated optical signals and a bulk amplifier formed of a doped material that receives the multiple spatially-separated optical signals and simultaneously amplifies those signals to generate multiple amplified signals.
