    摘要: Disclosed is a gain-providing optical power equalizer which can equalize optical channel output or gain while amplifying signal output. In prior art technologies, optical power equalization has been achieved by attenuating signal output differently depending upon optical channels. However, the optical power equalizer of the present invention is characterized in that it achieves equalization of optical power by giving optical gain differently depending upon optical channels. According to the present invention, the output of optical channels can be adjusted to be flat or as desired without deteriorating signal to noise ratio.

    摘要: A multi-stage optical amplifier for use in the transmission of optical signals over fiber when using Wavelength Division Multiplexing. Wavelength Division Multiplexing is particularly sensitive to differences in gain between channels and these differences become critical when cascaded fiber amplifiers are used to boost the signal over long distances. The present amplifier flattens the differences in gain and reduces noise figure by using multi-stage equalizing filters along the length of the transmission fiber.
