Abstract: Disclosed are a control method and an optical fiber amplifier. The optical fiber amplifier is configured to execute the control method. The method comprises: initially correcting a target gain on the basis of a first compensation gain to obtain an initially corrected target gain; when the actual power of the pump laser reaches target power determined on the basis of the initially corrected target gain obtaining, on the basis of a first signal optical power and a second signal optical power, a second compensation gain and a first compensation slope through calculation; correcting the initially corrected target gain again according to the second compensation gain to obtain a corrected target gain; and correcting a target slope according to the first compensation slope to obtain a corrected target slope. This solution can provide high precision control for the gain and the slope of the optical fiber amplifier.

Abstract: Provided are a method and system for controlling a Raman fiber amplifier. The method comprises: according to a target gain and a tilt, calculating an expected output power of a pump by using a feedforward formula, and obtaining an actual output power of the pump through detection (201); locking the actual output power of the pump to the expected output power through first-stage feedback control (202); according to the target gain and the tilt, calculating an expected ASE power of the pump by using an ASE formula, and obtaining an actual out-of-band ASE power of the pump through detection (203); if the out-of-band ASE is not locked, determining gain compensation and tilt compensation of the pump through second-stage feedback control, and feeding the compensation back to the feedforward formula and the ASE formula for recalculation (204); and repeatedly performing the first-stage feedback control and the second-stage feedback control until the gain and the tilt are locked (205).
