OPTICAL RECEIVER WITH AN OPTICALLY COMPENSATED AMPLIFIER CONTROL LOOP

An optical receiver can implement a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to process received light using a closed loop optical pre-amplification. The optical receiver can use an average input value of the TIA to control an semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) or pre-amplification as received average sign...

Zusammenfassung:An optical receiver can implement a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to process received light using a closed loop optical pre-amplification. The optical receiver can use an average input value of the TIA to control an semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) or pre-amplification as received average signal varies. The optical receiver can include a gain controller for the TIA that can measure the TIA swing to adjust the gain of the SOA to pre-amplify received light in a closed loop control configuration.
