摘要： An EDFA 1 is comprised of a pre-amp 2 and a post-amp 3, which are connected in series, a photocoupler 4, a long wave pass filter (LWPF) 5 and an LWPF controller 6. The photocoupler 4 is connected to an input-stage of the EDFA 1 and enters the light signal in the LWPF controller 6. The LWPF 5 is located between the pre-amp 2 and the post-amp 3, and its cutoff wavelength is adjustable. A short-wavelength-part of the light signal which is amplified by the pre-amp 2, is cut off by the LWPF 5. The LWPF controller 6 detects an input signal power of the input light signal and adjusts the cutoff wavelength of the LWPF 5 based on the detected input signal power. Gain of light signals which are output from the post-amp 3, are equalized ranging the extensive input signal power and covering wide signal-wavelength bands.

摘要： Optical fiber amplifiers with a simple composition than can accurately flatten optical output power in a fixed range are provided. Main optical amplifiers and first gain equalizers connected to these amplifiers are disposed between input port and output port. The main optical amplifiers comprise first EDFs which function as first amplification optical fibers, pumping light sources for providing pumping to drive the first EDFs using amplification characteristics, and second isolators. It is preferable for the second isolators to be isolators that can eliminate optical pumping power. The first gain equalizers are comprised by second absorption EDF. This second EDF operates such that the gain of the optical signal decreases in a non-pumping state or in a slight pumping state. The amplification characteristics used by the first EDF to amplify the optical signal power are opposite to the absorption characteristics used by the second EDF to absorb the optical signal power. Therefore, by means of passing a Wavelength Division Multiplexing Signal (WDM) through the first and second EDFs, only the portion of the Wavelength Division Multiplexing Signal (WDM) output from the first EDF that corresponds to the signal amplified by the first EDF is absorbed while a Wavelength Division Multiplexing Signal (WDM) passes through the second EDF. Because of this, the gain of the Wavelength Division Multiplexing Signal (WDM) ultimately output from an optical fiber amplifier is flattened.
