ABSTRACT OPTICAL AMPLIFIER Known optical amplifiers, which are used in a light transmis- sion path to amplify the light signals to be transmitted, have the disadvantage that the semiconductor lasers, used as pump lasers therein, are very sensitive to feedback. According to the invention, the operating current of such pump lasers (4) is modulated at a high frequency, which causes the pump laser to operate in a multi-mode, thereby making it in- sensitive to feedback. For example, the operating current is DC, on which AC is superimposed. In the event the optical amplifier has two pump lasers, their operating current is also modulated. Both pump lasers are then advantageously alternately switched on and off at a suf- ficiently high switching frequency, which also prevents recip- rocal interference. Figure 1.
