OPTICAL AMPLIFIER WITH IMPROVED LINEARITY

摘要

PHN 14.011 05.02.1993 ; Optical amplifier with improved linearity. Optical amplifier which utilizes a solid-state laser (2) as an amplifying element. To improve the linearity of the optical amplifier a complex compensation mechanism has been necessary in the state of the art. In the optical amplifier according to the invention a similar linearity improvement may be achieved by feeding the solid-state laser (2) not from a current source, as is customary, but from a voltage source (4).
