In an optical arrangement for amplifying an input lightwave signal by a predetermined amount to a desired output level, an optical amplifier is connected to a loss element. The optical amplifier is pumped by an amount exceeding a nominalamount wherein the nominal amount is the amount of pumping needed to attain the desired output level at the optical amplifier output. By attenuating the signal output from the optical amplifier, the loss element generates an output signal from theoptical arrangement at the desired output level. This optical arrangement is characterized by an improved noise performance (noise figure) over standard optical amplifiers.
