Abstract

Abstract The method involves use of an optical equalisation module (4) including an attenuator (5) adjusted by a monitor (6) which comprises a tunable photo-refractive filter (19) and a photodetector (21) with management logic (20). The attenuator has a convertor (17) which controls tunable photo-refractive filters (16a-16n) for different channels. The attenuator is followed by an Er-doped fibre amplifier (3) with multiplexers (10,11) of pumping waves from laser diodes (8,9) supplied with controlled currents from a regulator (12) in response to the level measured by a photodiode (13).
