ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for controlling temperature in an optical amplification system are provided. An optical amplification system comprises a pump laser, a multiplexer, an optical fiber, a temperature control device, and processing circuitry. The pump laser generates an optical pump signal. The multiplexer multiplexes the optical pump signal and an input optical signal to generate a multiplexed optical signal. The optical fiber receives the multiplexed optical signal. The temperature control device controls temperature within the optical amplification system based on a control signal. The processing circuitry determines whether to adjust the temperature of the optical amplification system and generates the control signal based on this determination.
