Abstract
An optical amplifier with network optimization techniques maximizes performance of a conventional optical amplifier with minimum user intervention. A circulator enables as much light as possible just below a stimulated Brillouin scattering threshold to be launched in to an optical fiber. An amount of reflected power directed by a circulator to a photo diode has a direct correlation to the quality of the received signal in a communications system.
