ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR MANAGING SPECTRAL HOLE BURNING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114270 titled 'ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS FOR MANAGING SPECTRAL HOLE BURNING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for managing spectral hole burning (SHB) effect in an optical transport network (OTN) link using an automatic gain control (AGC) circuit in the amplification assembly.
- The method involves determining the input power of an incoming signal using a first photodetector connected to the AGC circuit.
- If the input power is less than a predetermined portion of the full-loading signal power, the method causes a pump power variable attenuator (PVOA) to attenuate pump power from a pump source in the amplification assembly.
