Problems solved by technology

After 20 optical amplification units and subsequent fiber spans, the cumulative error will be 6dB, which is unacceptable
Tilting the gain of an optical amplifier using e.g. a VOA does not achieve the desired compensation effect since the remaining channels are at the same wavelength

Abstract

An optical amplification unit comprises at least one optical amplifier for amplifying an optical signal and a filter preceding or following the optical amplifier. The optical amplifier comprises a first measuring device for measuring a property of an input signal of the optical amplifier, a second measuring device for measuring a property of an output signal of the optical amplifier , and a control circuit for controlling a gain characteristic of the optical amplifier in dependence of said input and output signal properties. The filter exhibits a wavelength-dependent attenuation of the optical signal. The optical amplification unit is connectable to an optical fiber span and the filter is adapted to compensate for a span loss tilt caused by said optical fiber span An optical transmission system with at least one such optical amplification unit and corresponding methods.
