Abstract

See full text

In one aspect of the invention, a method of amplifying optical signals includes identifying one of a plurality of pump signals driving an amplification system as a failing pump signal comprising a reduced power compared to a normal power of the failing pump signal. The method further includes adjusting the power of at least one other of the plurality of pump signals based at least in part on the failing pump signal to at least partially compensate for a degradation of performance of the amplification system that would otherwise be caused by the reduction in power of the failing pump signal.
