Abstract
We experimentally verify that signal-to-noise ratio equalization in am plified wavelength-multiplexed lightwave systems can be achieved by ad justing input optical signal powers according to a simple algorithm. T he experiment involved four channels spaced by 2 nm transmitted throug h 550 km of fiber with the aid of eight erbium-doped optical amplifier s.
