Optical amplifier module and dispersion compensation fiber loss detection method

摘要

An optical amplifier module includes a first optical amplifier to amplify main signal light to be supplied to a dispersion compensation fiber (DCF), a second optical amplifier to amplify the main signal light supplied from the DCF, a generating part to generate monitoring light having a wavelength longer than a wavelength of the main signal light, a multiplexing part to multiplex the monitoring light generated by the generating part and the main signal light to be supplied to the DCF, a demultiplexing part to demultiplex the monitoring light from the main signal light supplied from the DCF, and a detection part to detect a light intensity of the monitoring light demultiplexed by the demultiplexing part.
