    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber transmission system which uses polarization multiplexing of a pump signal for reducing the influence of a stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) as for an optical fiber transmission system whose SBS is low. SOLUTION: A technique for suppressing the stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) in an optical fiber signal path divides power of emitted (signal) into (signals in) a polarization state by using polarization modulation at the place of a transmitter. By reducing the power of each polarization, the SBS is reduced. The line width of a light source is expanded by (1) introducing incoherence property between the polarization state (by introducing time delay into one of the signal paths in a polarization state) and (2) introducing a frequency shift between the polarizing state (by providing an acoustic optical modulator(AOM) within the signal path of the remaining polarization state).

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-power optical amplifier which is effective for multiple-output applications, such as CATV and WDM systems. SOLUTION: This high-power optical amplifier 40 with multiple outputs is formed by using a preamplifier stage 42 (such as an erbium-doped fiber amplifier), followed by a power splitter 44 or wavelength division multiplexer router (forming the desired number of M separate optical outputs). Each preamplified and split output is then amplified separately in a high-power amplifier 46, such as an erbium-ytterbium co-doped amplifier. The power loss associated with the signal splitting thus occurs, prior to imparting of the high power gain onto the optical signals, allowing a plurality of high power optical outputs to be formed.
