Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006048367A1] The invention relates to a method for compensation of gain variations in a multistage optical amplifier (3), for the amplification of an optical wavelength multiplex signal (WDM), comprising several amplifier stages (4-6) in series, each with at least one pumping device (11). Gain variation (23) occurring after a switching process can easily be compensated for, when the power jump (20) expected at the second amplifier stage is determined and, depending thereon, a new pump power (I) is calculated for the corresponding pump device (11), the new pump power (I) is set for the pump device (11) before the power jump (20) arrives at the input of the second stage (6).
