광증폭기의 이득과 이득 평탄화를 동시에 자동 제어하는 완전 광학적 방법 = Automatic Gain Flattening Control and Automatic Gain Control Using an All Optical Method in an Optical Amplifier

국문 초록 (Abstract)

직렬 연결된 두 개의 광학적인 회전루프와 고정형 이득 평탄화 필터가 적용된 이단 증폭기 구조가 제안되고 구현되었다. 이 증폭기에 입력신호 채널수를 한 개에서 40개 사이를 역동적으로 변화시키므로 입력신호 세기가 최고 -1 dBm 까지의 변동할 때, 제안된 증폭기는 완전히 광학적인 방법으로 이득과 이득평탄 정도를 1530 nm$\sim$1560 nm 파장대역에서 일정하게 유지시켰다. 이 특성을 잡음지수의 큰 희생 없이 고 이득을 유지하는 가운데 이루어 졌다. 각 입력채널에서 이득 특성의 시간에 따른 순간적인 변화와 이 변화의 파장 의존성도 조사되었다. 결과적으로 제안된 구조의 증폭기가 전송선에 적용될 때, 통신양의 급격한 변화에 따라 광증폭기로 입력되는 광신호의 세기가 급격히 변화하더라도 광증폭기의 증폭 특성은 일정하게 유지될 것이다.

Our amplifier using an all optical method and a fixed GFF achieved automatic gain flatness throughput the C-band without any NF degradation, and simultaneously achieved a constant 25 dB gain, while input signals were varied between one channel and forty WDM channels. When thirty nine channels were added and dropped, the transient gain variation of the survival channel was not greater than the steady-state gain variation, and its wavelength dependency was negligible.
