Abstract
A system and method for controlling optical amplifier pumps. A path average intensity detector is provided for detecting a path average intensity for transmitted optical signals. In response to the detected path average intensity or a variation in path average intensity, a pump parameter controller dynamically adjusts at least one pump parameter of at least one amplifier to achieve a desired path average intensity.
