摘要 |
A circuit controlling the gain of an amplifier in an optical transmitter used for optical communication, including a detection circuit for measuring the power of the RF input to said laser; a gain controller for controlling a gain of said amplifier, and a switch connected to said gain controller, wherein said gain controller is adapted, in response to an activation of said switch, to: (i) automatically vary said gain of said amplifier, and (ii) set said gain of said amplifier at a level corresponding to a reduction in the noise and/or distortion associated with the transmitter.
