Abstract :
The all-electric automatic gain control of a travelling wave semiconductor laser amplifier through the error signal detected from its junction voltage is analysed. Three different control schemes are compared. The ability to suppress the optical gain variation caused by the polarisation fluctuation is particularly addressed
