Abstract:
An amplification device includes an element for splitting an input optical signal into first and second optical signals having first and second polarization modes, first and second amplification stages each including polarized SOAs for amplifying the first and second optical signals depending on driving currents, an intermediate processing stage for compensating optical characteristics of the optical gain bandwidth of the first amplification stage depending on driving currents, an element for combining the first and second optical signals outputted by the second amplification stage to produce an output optical signal, and a control means producing the driving currents depending on information representative of powers of the first and second optical signals before the polarized SOAs of each amplification stage and on a targeted power of the output optical signal.

Claim (Index 2):
Amplification device according to  claim 1 , wherein said first and second polarized semiconductor optical amplifiers of each amplification stage are arranged for amplifying optical signals having said first polarization mode, and wherein it further comprises a first transformation element arranged for transforming said second polarization mode of said second optical signal in said first polarization mode before said second polarized semiconductor optical amplifier of said first amplification stage, and a second transformation element arranged for transforming said first polarization mode of said first optical signal in said second polarization mode after said first polarized semiconductor optical amplifier of said second amplification stage, so that said first combination element combines said first optical signal amplified, having said second polarization mode and outputted by said second amplification stage with said second optical signal amplified, having said first polarization mode and outputted by said second amplification stage to produce said output optical signal.
