Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An all-optical feedforward automatic gain control scheme is applicable to a multicore erbium-doped amplifier. In this paper, the gain control characteristics of a polarization independent configuration of all-optical FF-AGC circuit using a semiconductor optical amplifier are experimentally studied. It was clarified that the polarization dependence of the gain is decreased with the double-pass type AGC circuit using a circulator and a Faraday rotator mirror. The polarization dependence of the gain is ~0.12 dB with the circuit using an FRM. This value is ~1/4 that with the circuit using a conventional mirror (~0.45 dB).
