| Zusammenfassung: | An optical amplifier configuration for WDM (wavelength division multiplex) systems uses a common pump source connected to an input of an optical splitter deploying pump light via variable optical attenuators to a plurality of optical amplifiers. Control circuits determine individually the output powers of the amplifiers by varying the attenuations of the variable optical attenuators. Amplifier units based on PLC technology are implemented to reduce the size. |
