    • A testing circuit is provided for determining the Q-factor of an optical communication system. In the testing circuit, a variable attenuator attenuates a received optical signal in response to an attenuator control signal. A first optical-to-electrical converter converts a first portion of the attenuated optical signal into an electrical data signal. A second optical-to-electrical converter converts a second portion of the attenuated optical signal into a first power indication signal. A decision circuit detects high and low data bits in the electrical data signal based on a plurality of threshold voltage signals, and provides decision signals indicative of the results of these determinations. An error monitoring circuit receives the decision signals, determines the bit error rate of the incoming optical signal for the plurality of threshold voltages, and provides bit error rate signals. A microprocessor receives the power regulation signal and the bit error rate signals, and generates a first attenuator control signal and a plurality of threshold voltage signals. In the testing circuit, the variable attenuator operates to attenuate the received optical signal such that it is at an optimal input level for the operation of the first optical-to electrical converter. The microprocessor determines an optimal bit error rate and an optimal Q-factor for the incoming signal based on the bit error rates of the incoming optical signal for the plurality of threshold voltages

    • An optical amplifier is provided in which optical channels, each at a respective wavelength, make two passes through a segment of erbium-doped optical fiber. After the first pass, certain optical wavelengths lying in the high gain spectrum (“the high gain wavelengths”) of the erbium-doped optical fiber are amplified more than other optical wavelengths lying in the low gain spectrum (“the low gain wavelengths”). The optical channels are then reflected with a reflective element back to the segment of erbium-doped optical fiber for the second pass. The reflective element selectively attenuates the high gain wavelengths to compensate for the excessive gain of the erbium-doped optical fiber at these wavelengths. As a result, after the second pass, the optical power at the high and low gain wavelengths is substantially the same and gain flattening is achieved. In an alternative embodiment, the low gain wavelengths are selectively amplified by the reflective element and supplied to the erbium-doped optical fiber at a higher power level than the high gain wavelengths. This additional optical power offsets the low amplification at the low gain wavelengths, such that the erbium-doped optical fiber outputs the high and low gain wavelengths at substantially the same optical power levels.
    • 提供了一种光放大器,其中各个波长的光通道通过掺铒光纤的两段通路。 在第一次通过之后,掺铒光纤的高增益光谱(“高增益波长”)中的某些光波长比位于低增益光谱(“低增益波长”)中的其它光波长放大得多, 。 然后将光信道用反射元件反射回铒掺杂光纤的段,用于第二遍。 反射元件选择性地衰减高增益波长以补偿在这些波长处的掺铒光纤的过度增益。 结果,在第二次通过之后,高和低增益波长的光功率基本上相同,并且获得了平坦化。 在替代实施例中,低增益波长被反射元件选择性地放大,并以比高增益波长更高的功率电平提供给掺铒光纤。 这种附加的光功率抵消了低增益波长处的低放大率,使得掺铒光纤以基本上相同的光功率电平输出高和低增益波长。

    • An optical amplifier is disclosed having substantially uniform spectral gain. The amplifier comprises a variable optical attenuator coupled between first and second segments of active optical fiber. The attenuation of the optical attenuator is adjusted in accordance with the optical power input to the amplifier to thereby obtain substantially flattened gain. Alternatively, the attenuator can be controlled based on the respective gains associated with the first and second segments of optical fiber. For example, the attenuator can be adjusted so that so that the sum of the two gains remains substantially constant, a condition that also yields flat spectral gain. Further, optical powers associated with first and second wavelengths of amplified stimulated emission (ASE) light output from the amplifier can be used to adjust the attenuation of the optical attenuator. In an additional example, received optical powers associated with each of the channels in a WDM system are monitored and the attenuators within each amplifier in the system are controlled so that the received powers are substantially equal.
