- Abstract
- An optical network using an optical amplifier in a gain saturation region includes an optical transmission apparatus. The optical transmission apparatus includes an optical transmitter configured to output an optical signal, a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) configured to amplify the optical signal outputted through the optical transmitter, and a controller configured to control the SOA to operate in a gain saturation region or a linear gain region depending on whether a forward error correction (FEC) function is used in the optical network.
