ABSTRACT:
A system and method for controlling the gain of an optical amplifier receiving one or more optical input signal channels at a first end include a source for generating a gain control signal, which is input to the optical amplifier at the opposite end to the input signal channels. The gain control signal is generated at a power level that produces stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in the optical amplifier.
