description Methods and systems to control a gain applied to a free-space optical (FSO) signal to reduce time-varying intensity fluctuations. An optical pre-amplifier may provide a first, relatively moderate gain with low noise factor (NF). A second optical amplifier may provide a second gain. Amplification may include doped fiber amplification (DFA), such as erbium-doped fiber amplification (EDFA) and/or Raman amplification. A variable optical attenuator (VOA) may be controllable with a relatively fast response time to reduce the time-varying intensity fluctuations. The VOA may effectively control an overall system gain. The gain of the first and/or second optical amplifier may also be controllable to reduce the time-varying intensity fluctuations. Optical intensities may be detected at one or more locations to support one or more feed-forward and/or feedback control loops. A clamp may be applied when an optical power reaches a threshold.
