Abstract
An optical preamplifier with an amplification unit is for amplifying an optical signal and compensating dispersion of the optical signal after receiving the optical signal from an optical transmitter, and thereof for supplying the optical signal to an optical receiver. The optical preamplifier includes a first wavelength division multiplexor WDM for multiplexing the inputted optical signal and a pumping light, an erbium doped fiber EDF for amplifying the optical signal multiplexed in the WDM in maximum, while non-linear phenomena do not happen in a following dispersion compensating fiber module DCFM, an optical isolator band pass filter ISOF for passing only the optical signal with a bandwidth of a predetermined wavelength among the optical signal amplified by EDF, the DCFM for damping an optical intensity of the optical signal within the optimum level of the optical signal for the optical receiver, while compensating the dispersion of the optical signal from the ISOF, and a first tap coupler dividing the optical signal from the DCFM in constant ratio for controlling the optical intensity of the pumping light and for being outputted to the optical receiver.
