Fiber, Optical Amplifier, and Optical Communications System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17962068 titled 'Fiber, Optical Amplifier, and Optical Communications System
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a fiber used in an optical amplifier that includes a rare earth-doped core and a cladding. The core has a gain equalization unit that is designed to equalize the gains of optical signals of all wavelengths. This ensures that the gains of all transmitted optical signals fall within a predetermined range. The gain of each wavelength is determined based on the ratio of power between the amplified and unamplified optical signals.

Original Abstract Submitted
A fiber applied to an optical amplifier, where the fiber includes a rare earth-doped core and a cladding. The core includes a gain equalization unit. The core is configured to separately amplify optical signals of all wavelengths in a received multiplexing wave. The gain equalization unit is configured to equalize gains of the optical signals of all the wavelengths, such that gains of optical signals that are of all the wavelengths and that are transmitted from an egress port of the fiber all fall within a preset range, The gain of the optical signal of each wavelength in the optical signals of all the wavelengths is determined based on a ratio of power of an amplified optical signal to power of the unamplified optical signal.
