| Abstract: | The use of inhomogeneously broadened amplifiers for wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical soliton transmission is proposed. Dynamic gain equalization can be achieved through saturation, by adjustment of the time-averaged intensity of control lasers tuned between the WDM channels. The authors investigate numerically an example in which seven WDM channels at 2 Gb/s each are equalized using parameter values reasonable for germanosilicate core erbium-doped fibers |
