Abstract:
A channel allocation method of channels having different transmission speeds in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system is provided. The channel allocation method in a multirate optical transmission system includes selecting a channel having the lowest transmission speed from not allotted channels, allotting the selected channel to the longest wavelength band of empty wavelength bands, and determining whether not allotted channels exist in order to repeatedly perform selecting the channel having the lowest transmission speed from the not allotted channels and allotting the selected channel to the longest wavelength band of the empty wavelength bands, until all the channels are allotted.

The first and the second temperature detection units detect the temperature changes of the detected first and the second amplifying terminals. And, the controller controls the intensity of the pumping light in response to the temperature changes of the detected first and the second amplifying terminals.
Abstract:
A method for realizing, in a fiber amplifier with three stages of amplifiers (100,200,300), automatic gain control (530) in which a constant gain is obtained when channels are varied, and automatic level control in which a constant output per channel is obtained when a light power is varied because of variations in span loss. A light power (L1) or another light power of a specific wavelength is monitored (520) to determine when variations in these light powers take place, current values of pump laser diodes appropriate for an input is read from a lookup table (540), and pump laser diodes are driven. During this operation, a pump power of the first stage amplifier (100) is constantly maintained, and those of the second or third stage amplifier are controlled (530).
