ABSTRACT:
A WDM fiber optic communication system is operative to transmit WDM signals between multiple nodes. Each node has a booster EDFA, and in-band and out-of-band supervisory channels monitoring the integrity of a link by generating and detecting respective in-band and out-of-band control signals. The booster EDFA receives the multiplexed WDM and IB signals and generates an output signal carried by fibers between the nodes. The booster EDFA switches from an automatic gain control regime upon detecting of at least one of the IB and OB control signals to an automatic power control regime upon loss of both IB and OB control signals. The output signal of the EDFA in the AGC regime has a high power sufficient for transmitting the WDM and IB signals, and has a low power in the APC regime sufficient for transmitting only the IB control signal.
