Abstract
A controller for reducing a transient variation of gain of an optical amplifier is disclosed. The controller includes a control circuit adapted to generate an electrical signal mimicking optical gain transient variation upon an abrupt change in input loading conditions. The electrical signal is applied to a variable optical attenuator disposed downstream of the active optical fiber of the optical amplifier. The control circuit can be realized in a variety of ways, but preferably it includes a logarithmic amplifier and a high-pass filter sequentially connected. The logarithmic amplifier is connected to an input tap/photodetector, and the high-pass filter is connected to the variable optical attenuator.
