<p>A system and method for adjusting the gain profile of an optical amplifier including a pump laser (10) and an active element (16) by selectively controlling the electron populations of at least one Stark sublevel of the electronic energy levels of the optical amplifier's active gain element (16). Dynamically controlling the electron populations of selected Stark sublevels flattens the gain profile of the active gain element.</p> |
