The present invention relates to an optical communication, and more particularly, to a wideband wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical communication system which can have a broad amplification band while overcoming a polarization dependency and solving a signal leakage between channels. In an optical amplifier module and optical transmission system for a WDM optical communication system using this, the optical amplifier module uses a semiconductor quantum dot optical amplifier as an amplifying means, and thus has a wide amplification bard and has no a polarization dependency of a gain and a signal leakage between channels, and the optical transmision system uses a semiconductor quantum dot optical amplifier module when several optical amplifier modules are connected for use so that a gain automatically becomes flat and automatically becomes fixed even though a channel number and an input signal size become different. Accordingly, the semiconductor quantum dot optical amplifier module of the present invention can be used as a repeater, an amplifier of a metro WDM system, and an amplifying means for the other systems of a WDM type. The optical transmission system using the semiconductor quantum dot optical amplifier module of the present invention can be used in a long-distance transmission system of a WDM type and a WDM network which pass through the optical amplifier module several times. |
