  • Universal controller for an optical amplifier that operates over a wide dynamic range of optical signals and optical amplifiers utilizing such controllers
    Publication number: 20020093729
    Abstract: An amplifier characterized by gain and output power comprises: (i) at least one gain medium; (ii) at least one pump supplying optical power into the gain medium; and (iii) a controller controlling the gain and the output power of the amplifier. The controller includes a signal compression circuit to cover a wide dynamic range for optical input and output signals, so that resolution for low optical signals is better than resolution for high optical signals.
