Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9853564A1] An optical communications apparatus, comprising: (a) at least one pump laser support, on which is located at least one pump laser which provides pump light energy suitable for one or more optical amplifiers; (b) a splitter support, on which is located an optical splitter, the splitter having at least one inlet and a plurality of outlets; and (c) at least one optical waveguide which optically connects the pump laser(s) to the inlet(s) of the optical splitter such that pump light energy transmitted from the pump laser(s) is split into a plurality of separate portions before leaving the apparatus; the pump laser support, the splitter support and the optical waveguide constituting a single discrete apparatus which is able to provide pump light energy for a plurality of optical amplifiers, each optically connected, in use, to a respective outlet of the splitter.
