Abstract
An optical amplifier assembly for determining a parameter of an optical fiber configured to amplify an optical signal being propagated therethrough, the assembly comprising: at least one amplifier pump light source assembly configured to transmit light at a plurality of wavelengths into the optical fiber; a receiver configured to receive light that has propagated through at least part of the optical fiber; and a processor configured to determine the parameter of the optical fiber based on the received light.
