ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for producing a series of amplified optical pulses from a series of input optical pulses including creating a set of local optical pulses from a series of input optical pulses, the set of local optical pulses having different amplitudes arranged in a graded order. The set of local optical pulses are amplified by an optical amplifier to form a significantly amplified first local optical pulse that is removed from the set of local optical pulses and output. The method successively removes the significantly amplified first local optical pulse, re-creates the set of local optical pulses by adding a new optical pulse to the end of the set of local optical pulses; and routes the recreated set of local optical pulses back to the input of the optical amplifier to continue producing the series of amplified optical pulses.
