摘要:
A control-target-value setting unit sets a control target value corresponding to the number of multiplexed wavelengths measured by a number-of-multiplexed-wavelengths measuring unit. A controller controls the variable optical attenuator based on the control target value. An optical amplifier performs an optical amplification with a constant gain regardless of power of a wavelength-multiplexed light. The controller performs feedback control of the variable optical attenuator such that a result of measurement of the total power of the wavelength-multiplexed light coincides with the control target value.

A laser light source outputs a virtually linearly-polarized light beam that has plural mode components arranged at an interval of an almost equal angular frequency. A polarization dispersion device is connected to the laser light source in such a way that a polarization axis of the polarization dispersion device is at 45° with respect to a polarization axis of the light beam output from the laser light source. This polarization dispersion device effects on the light beam output from the laser light source a polarization mode dispersion that is not in the vicinity of (2π/Δω), where Δω is a mode interval angular frequency.

Light signals of first to n-th bands amplified en bloc undergo proper attenuation through an adjustable optical attenuator in conformance with attenuation in an optical fiber connected to input of an optical amplifying repeater apparatus, whereon the light signals are demultiplexed or separated into individual bands and amplified by first to n-th fixed-gain optical amplifiers (#1, . . . , #n) each having a high fixed gain in the respective bands to be subsequently multiplexed by an optical multiplexer and then sent out onto a transmission line. A monitoring light branching device extracts a part of light power of a specific monitoring wavelength, which is then fed to an adjustable attenuator control circuit which controls the attenuation factor of the adjustable optical attenuator so that the light power of the specific wavelength remains constant. The gain of the optical amplifying repeater apparatus at the specific wavelength can thus be determined. By employing as the optical amplifying medium a substantially homogeneous medium, the gain for the other wavelengths can be fixed. The optical amplifying repeater apparatus whose gain is essentially independent of the change in the number of the wavelengths can thus be realized.

Voltage controlling/oscillating device comprises a terminal for setting the delay rate in the delay unit and the delay interpolator. Clock signal whose phase is inverted by the inverting gate is inputted into a first input terminal of the delay interpolator and into the delay unit. The delay unit delays the signal by d1 and inputs into second input terminal of the delay interpolator. Oscillation frequency control voltage is fed into a terminal of the delay interpolator through an oscillation frequency control terminal of the device. Delay control voltage is fed into a terminal of the device in order to control a propagation delay rate in the delay unit and the delay interpolator. The delay rate in a delay unit and a delay interpolator can be adjusted by a delay control voltage.
