Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures for providing C-band and L-band transmission exhibiting increased power efficiency by diverting a portion of C-band optical energy to an input of L-band optical amplifiers (C-seeding) while optionally employing circulators to eliminate the need for optical isolators.

Claim (Index 1):
An improved optical transmission system for carrying C-band and L-band optical signals, the system having a C-band optical path including a C-band optical amplifier and an L-band optical path including an L-band optical amplifier, wherein the C-band optical path and the L-band optical path are substantially isolated from one another, said system CHARACTERIZED IN THAT:\n the system is configured such that a pre-determined amount of C-band optical energy is applied to an input of the L-band optical amplifier.
