    摘要: A contrivance, if a WDM signal state changes, is to improve an optical transmission quality by compensating gain flatness. A first excitation control unit sets a first optical pumping light source unit to emit excitation power needed to get the same amplifying operating level of a first amplifying medium as at the time of a maximum wavelength count when allocating wavelengths after a change in wavelength count at an equal interval in a wavelength range. A wavelength allocation bias estimation unit compares a present monitor value of optical power after outputting of a gain equalizer 13 with wavelength equi-allocation power associated with the recognized wavelength count, and thus estimates a wavelength allocation bias occurred as a concomitant of the change in the wavelength count. A primary gradient calculation unit obtains a primary gradient quantity defines as a gain deviation from the wavelength allocation bias. A second excitation control unit sets, in a second optical pumping light source unit, the excitation power needed to cancel the primary gradient quantity. An attenuation quantity control unit controls a variable optical attenuator to fix a gain by compensating an amount of change in the sum of gains.

    摘要: The present invention has an object to provide an optical amplifier capable of realizing a good response characteristic in a wide frequency band, even when a population inversion state is formed by a pumping light supplied to an optical amplification medium and an ASE light generated in the optical amplification medium. To this end, in the optical amplifier according to the present invention, a delayed phase matching fiber in which a first fiber whose response speed is relatively low is arranged on the input side and a second fiber whose response speed is relatively high is arranged on the output side, is used as the optical amplification medium doped with a rare-earth element.

    摘要: An optical amplifier of the invention comprises first and second optical amplification sections connected in a cascade manner between an input terminal and an output terminal. Optical isolators which block C-band ASE travelling in an opposite direction to L-band signal light, are inserted on the amplification medium of each of the optical amplification sections. A constant gain control section calculates the number of wavelengths based on the input power of signal light, and controls the pumping light power of each optical amplification section at a constant slope with respect to the number of wavelengths, so that the respective gains in the optical amplification sections corresponding to the number of wavelengths each become constant. As a result, it is possible to maintain flat gain wavelength characteristics even when receiving input of WDM light where the number of wavelengths varies rapidly over a wide range.
