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 9):
The improved system according to  claim 6  further comprising an output optical path and a second circulator, said second optical circulator in optical communication with the C-band optical path at a point in the path after the C-band optical amplifier, said second optical circulator in optical communication with the L-band optical path at a point in the path before the L-band optical amplifier, and said optical circulator in optical communication with the output path, FURTHER CHARACTERIZED IN THAT the optical circulator directs a portion of the C-band optical energy output from the C-band optical amplifier to an input of the L-band optical amplifier.
