Abstract
In this work, we report experimental results regarding the recycling of optical pumps signal for energy conversion, namely optical pumps from Raman amplifiers and fiber optic parametric amplifiers. Therefore, we propose the usage of optical signals to power remotely located network elements. After propagation over 25 km single mode fiber an electrical power of 0.9 mW and 18.1 mW was attained for the Raman amplifier and fiber optic parametric amplifier, respectively.
