Fiber Optic Amplifier Restart Method
The method comprises the steps of monitoring the status of the system connections through an out-of-band signaling channel, in particular an Optical Supervisory Channel (OSC), through the transmission and the reception of signals (S1, S2) and restoring the optical transmitters. The simulation and design software RP Fiber Power of RP Photonics is an excellent tool for such purposes and has been extensively used for this tutorial. This optical safety manages the shutdown and restart of the EDFA Laser using Automatic Laser Shutdown and Automatic Power Reduction mechanisms. This ensures that the Hazard Level 1 power limit is not exceeded, thereby ensuring personnel safety. ● The threshold can be set by using the threshold value fine adjustment function.
