摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a method of operating an optical amplifier (1a), in particular an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) or a Raman amplifier, an output signal of which is supplied to an optical fiber (2), characterized by determining a span loss of said optical fiber (2) and by controlling an output power (P_out) of said optical amplifier (1a) depending on said span loss. The present invention further refers to an optical amplifier (1a), in particular an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) or a Raman amplifier.</p> |
