Abstract:
In an optical amplifier including an optical wavelength selective coupler for coupling an input optical signal by a wavelength selective coupling method, a gain medium for amplifying a signal from the optical wavelength selective coupler and outputting the amplified signal, and a pump connected to the optical wavelength selective coupler for causing a population inversion in the gain medium, an all optical gain-clamped amplifier further includes a nonlinear mineral material provided at the next part of the gain medium for restricting a signal output of the gain medium by emitting stimulated Brillouin scattered light, inputting it back to the gain medium and saturating the gain medium when the intensity of the input signal output from the gain medium is larger than preset standard value. In the optical amplifier as above, it is advantageous that in a wavelength division multiplexing network, when an input signal of n channels is changed to an input signal of (n-k) channels and is input into a gain medium due to circumstances such as faults, switching, adding and/or dropping of wavelengths, the gain medium is saturated without changing the population inversion level even though the number of channels of the input signal is changed, and a constant gain is obtainable with no relation to the number of channels.
