    摘要: In an optical transmission apparatus, optical power of each of wavelength contained in a wavelength multiplexing signal is measured, a measured value of the optical power of each wavelength is compared with a predetermined threshold value, a total value of the measured values of the optical power, which are equal to or larger than the threshold value, is calculated as a total value of signal beam power, and a total value of the measured values of the optical power, which are less then the threshold value, is calculated as a total value of ASE power. The number of the measured values of the optical power, which are equal to or larger than the threshold value, is calculated as a wavelength count of the signal beams contained in the wavelength multiplexing signal. A signal-to-ASE ratio is calculated from the total value of the signal beam power and the total value of the ASE power. The optical power of the wavelength multiplexing signal inputted to an optical amplifier is measured, and a target value of the automatic level control (ALC) is determined by use of the measured values of the wavelength count, the signal-to-ASE ratio and the optical power of the wavelength multiplexing signal in order to execute the ALC of the optical amplifier so that the optical power of each of the wavelengths in the wavelength multiplexing signal outputted from the optical amplifier, becomes constant.

    摘要: In an optical amplifier of the invention, a WDM signal light is separated into N components by a demultiplexer after which each component is amplified by N optical amplifier sections, and the output light level of each optical amplifier section is controlled to a constant level by respective control circuits and multiplexed in a multiplexer. At this time, in the demultiplexer, the bandwidth of the signal light output from each of the output ports is designed to have a different value, so that inter-wavelength deviation in the optical output level that occurs in each of the optical amplifier sections, falls within a preset range. Moreover, the constant output control of each control circuit is performed by individually adjusting the gain of each of the optical amplifier sections in relation to fluctuations in the power level without channel number changes of the WDM signal light input to the demultiplexer. As a result, deviation in the optical output level over the entire wavelength bandwidth of the WDM signal light for fluctuations in the input level of the WDM signal light, can be suppressed to a minimum, with a simple configuration.

    摘要: According to an optical surge suppressive type optical amplifier in the present invention, for a WDM optical amplifier having a multi-stages amplification configuration in which a plurality of optical amplifying means is connected in series, an optical amplifying medium capable of causing a homogeneous up-conversion (HUC) phenomenon is applied to the optical amplifying means on the signal light output side, so that an optical surge is suppressed utilizing the degradation of gain efficiency by the HUC caused at the time when the input power is decreased. Further, for a one wave optical amplifier, an optical amplifying medium capable of causing a pair induced quenching (PIQ) phenomenon is applied to the optical amplifying means on the signal light input side, so that the optical surge is suppressed utilizing the degradation of output power efficiency by the PIQ caused at the time when the input power is increased. As a result, it is possible to provide a low cost optical amplifier capable of effectively suppressing the optical surge without leading the complexity of control circuit or optical circuit configuration.

    摘要: In an optical amplification characteristics simulation apparatus according to the present invention, using spectrums of a signal light input to an optical amplifier and a characteristic parameter for amplification medium, gain wavelength characteristics of the amplification medium are calculated. A calculating formula for the above has a parameter corresponding to a gain fluctuation portion due to a gain spectral hole burning (GSHB) phenomenon, and this parameter is defined by a function obtained by modeling a physical phenomenon in which a population inversion rate is reduced due to the GSHB, based on that electron occupation numbers in each Stark level on the end level side are increased. Then, based on the calculated gain wavelength characteristics, the output power of the signal light is obtained, to thereby perform the optical amplification characteristics simulation on the optical amplifier. As a result, it is possible to construct a high versatile calculation model based on the physical phenomenon for the gain fluctuation due to the GSHB, to thereby simulate with high precision the optical amplification characteristics of the optical amplifier under arbitrary conditions.
