This Bachelor's thesis deals with design and construction of support circuits for a modern optical amplifier the SOA. In the first chapter, optical transmitting medium with its physical properties and types of used cabels is described. The overview includes a list of optical cables, their damping properties and parasitic effects which can occur durring comunication. Next chapter is focused on the optical signal sources used in modern data networks, describes their internal structure and physical essence. Third chapter is dedicated to designing the optical amplifier with the SOA circuit. It focuses on the right choice of parts, their arrangement and layout of the design. Last chapter deals with set up, calibration and control of the optical ...
