Abstract
An optical signal processing method is disclosed that enables improvements of a signal to noise ratio of an optical signal and reduction of size and power of an optical signal processing device. The optical signal processing method includes steps of dividing an input optical signal into a first polarization optical component and a second polarization optical component orthogonal to the first polarization optical component; supplying the first polarization optical component to a first gain device whose gain saturates at a first value; supplying the second polarization optical component to a second gain device whose gain saturates at a second value less than the first value; combining output light from the first gain device and output light from the second gain device; and outputting the combined optical signal through a polarization element.
