- Fig. 3 shows only one input and one output
- each bearing n wavelengths in general there may be more than one such input fiber and one such output fiber and associated demultiplexers and multiplexers, respectively.
- the output power level of each of the optical amplifiers 36a-36n is at a predetermined power level independent of channel wavelength and input power level due to those amplifiers also being operated in the saturation mode. This will be described in more detail later with respect to Figs. 4 and 5.

- Wavelength ⁇ n is dropped off at a client equipment 70 without amplification.
- a client equipment 72 provides a wavelength ⁇ 4 to multiplexer 56 via an amplifier 74, and a client equipment 76 provides an unamplified signal ⁇ m to multiplexer 56.

It is seen that for an input power level of -30db the output power level is -15db on the steep part of the curve, and for an input power level of -20db the output power level is -5db. Thus, it is seen that for a lOdb difference in input power level there is a lOdb difference in output power level, which difference in power level would have to be subsequently compensated for by a VOA or the use of a transponder in the prior art .
- each such channel is identical to the channel 80 shown in Fig. 4, with a shared laser pump 96 providing the same pumping power at ⁇ p to each of the isolators 86a-86d, to operate each of the optical amplifiers 90a-90d in the saturation mode so that their respective output power levels are at substantially the same predetermined power level independent of channel wavelength and input power level.

- a further advantage that is derived in such an optical ring using amplifiers operating at a predetermined output power level in each of the channels, is the prevention of lasing. Since the power level output of
- the amplifiers in the respective channels is constrained not to rise above a predetermined level, a given channel's wavelength that traverses the ring without being dropped can't rob power from another channel, due to the respective output power levels of the amplifiers being held at the predetermined level.
