Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this paper, we propose a novel gain control method that does not require any extra channel. We show the proposed gain control method. An optical repeater consists of a two-stage EDFA with automatic gain control (AGC) and a variable optical attenuator has been proposed as a low noise and wide dynamic range EDFA.
