Estimating the term…
An optical device comprises an optical amplifier to amplify optical signals, optical pumps coupled to and providing optical pump power to least one amplifying stage of the optical amplifier, so as to produce gain in the said optical amplifier and, a tunable optical filter coupled to the optical amplifier. The optical filter changes the gain slope of the optical amplifier in response to a change in a single parameter of the optical filter. The optical amplifier also includes at least one controller adjusting said single parameter of the optical filter and controlling the optical pumps.
An optical device having an optical input and output, said optical device comprising:
An optical transmission system for transmitting optical signals, said system comprising:
The optical transmission system of 9, wherein said preamplifier includes a flat VOA and said postamplifier includes said tunable optical filter.
The optical transmission system of 9, wherein said preamplifier includes a flat VOA and one tunable optical filter;
The optical transmission system of 9, wherein said preamplifier includes said tunable optical filter and said postamplifier includes a flat VOA.
