Abstract
By placing a set of pump-shared, gain-compressed, amplifying fibers in parallel between a multiplexer pair, one obtains a simple WDM gain module suitable for large transparent multiwavelength networks. Systems employing such modules self-adjust for transparency on a channel-by-channel basis without servo-loops.<>
