The invention relates to a method of activating an optical communication system comprising a plurality of optical amplifiers having an optical amplifier, between optical transmission lines in which wavelength-division multiplex optical signals are transmitted. The method comprises steps of: generating a desired slope in a desired wavelength range of a gain wavelength curve of the optical amplifier; adjusting an output of the optical amplifier to a desired output level; performing the above two steps in a plurality of optical repeater stations, the steps being carried out in sequence from the first to the last optical repeater stations; and adjusting a level in each optical signal in the wavelength-division multiplex optical signal so as to have substantially constant optical signal-to-noise ratios in the optical signals to be received. Activating the optical communication system according to this procedure allows proper execution of gain slope compensation, output control, and pre-emphasis control.

An analog-to-digital converter arranged to accept an analog input signal and to convert it into an output having digital form. The converter is characterized by a reference random noise source which generates random noise signals with uniform amplitude occurrence probability density in a given range, and by an amplitude comparator arranged to repeatedly compare the amplitude of the random noise signal with the amplitude of a signal varying with the analog signal to be converted. The amplitude comparator supplies output pulses in accordance with the comparisons, e.g., whenever the analog signal amplitude is greater than the random noise amplitude, and the number of pulses from the amplitude comparator in a measurement interval then digitally corresponds to the value of the analog signal and may be utilized, as in a display. Resolution of the converter is increased beyond the minimum amplitude increment of the random noise source signal in one embodiment by superposition on either the analog signal or the random noise signal of a triangular wave with an amplitude greater than the minimum amplitude increment of the random noise signal, and in another embodiment by superposition of a second random noise signal.
