Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to optical communication technology, in particular to gain control of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier in optical communication. (2) Background technology [0002] Erbium-doped fiber amplifier is an important part of optical transmission system, and it is a component used for optical signal amplification in DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) system. When the number of optical wavelength signals transmitted in the optical fiber decreases, the power of the remaining optical wavelengths increases, which causes the nonlinear effect of the optical fiber, affects the system optical power budget, and degrades the transmission performance of the DWDM system. In order to avoid this situation, we need to keep the optical gain of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier constant, so that when the number of optical wavelength signals decreases, it returns to a constant optical gain value within a short period of time. [0003] There ar...
