Abstract

An optical amplifier includes at least two stages of optical amplifier systems, an optical switch, a dynamic gain equalizer (DGE), and a control circuit. An input end of the optical switch is separately coupled to an output end of a first-stage optical amplifier system and an output end of a second-stage optical amplifier system, and an output end of the optical switch is separately coupled to an input end of the second-stage optical amplifier system and an input end of the DGE. The optical switch is configured to set at least two gain modes of the optical amplifier. The control circuit is configured to adjust an attenuation spectrum of the DGE based on the at least two gain modes set by the optical switch. The DGE is configured to perform, based on an adjusted attenuation spectrum, power attenuation processing on signals of different wavelengths in a received optical signal.
