Disclosed is an optical signal amplification control system
for amplifying in the lump a wavelength-multiplexed signal that
several optical signals with different wavelengths to be transmitted
through an optical fiber cable are multiplexed, the system having:
means for detecting always the number of the different wavelengths
multiplexed in the wavelength-multiplexed signal; and means for
amplifying in the lump the wavelength-multiplexed signal; wherein
the optical signal amplification control system controls the
amplifying means to amplify in the lump the wavelength-multiplexed
signal up to a desired level according to the detected number of the
different wavelengths.
Système de commande d'amplification de signal optique permettant d'amplifier en bloc un signal multiplexé en longueur d'onde de façon que plusieurs signaux de différentes longueurs d'onde à transmettre sur un câble à fibres optiques soient multiplexés. Le système comprend : des moyens de détecter toujours le nombre de différentes longueurs d'onde multiplexées dans le signal multiplexé en longueur d'onde et des moyens d'amplifier en bloc le signal multiplexé en longueur d'onde; le système de commande d'amplification du signal optique commandant les moyens d'amplification afin d'amplifier en bloc le signal multiplexé en longueur d'onde jusqu'à un niveau désiré selon le nombre détecté de différentes longueurs d'onde.
