초록

WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) 광통신망의 노드에서 신호채널들이 분기 결합될 때 잔류채널들의 이득을 일정하게 제어해 주기 위해 고정이득 EDFA를 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 양방향 펌프에 의해 고이득을 가지는 L-band EDFA에서 발진광에 의해 입력변화를 보상해주는 방식으로 고정이득 EDFA를 구현하였다. 여기서 발진방향 및 파장에 따른 잔류채널의 과도응답 특성에 있어서 단파장 후방발진의 경우가 최적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The gain-clamped EDFA has been developed to eliminate the output power change of WDM surviving channels to occur with added or dropped channels, which degrades the performance of WDM optical network. It maintains the constant gain of surviving channels when WDM channels are added or dropped in a network amplifying node. In this paper, the hi-directionally pumped gain-clamped EDFA is implemented to compensate the change of the input power by a lasing. The results show that the lasing of a short wavelength and backward propagation is the optimal condition to minimize the transient response of surviving channels in terms of the overshoot and gain saturation due to the inhomogeneous broadening effect.
