When the input optical signal in the optical fiber network monitoring and management system is weak and the wavelength is large, it cannot be amplified. In addition, the optical fiber network monitoring and management system needs to drive the optical amplifier through an external communication method, which has the problem of time synchronization. The optical signal in the optical fiber network monitoring and management system is at the ns level. In order to meet the speed requirements, the external communication method can only reduce the monitoring frequency of the optical signal, resulting in low efficiency, and the optical amplifier is turned on for a long time, resulting in large losses.

The self-synchronous remote low input amplification method according to claim 8, characterized in that: In step 200, the method in which the second control module (330) simultaneously controls the first SOA (340) and the second SOA (350) to turn on the gain amplification function is as follows: A first amplified pulse signal with a length of M is sent to the first SOA (340) and a second amplified pulse signal with a length of L is sent to the second SOA (350) at the same time, wherein M>2X, L>2X+t1.

10. The self-synchronous remote low input amplification method according to claim 7, characterized in that: In step S400, when the second optical signal acquisition module detects that the test pulse signal in the first optical fiber (200) disappears, the second control module (330) turns off the gain amplification functions of the first SOA (340) and the second SOA (350) after a delay time t3.
