Compound gain flattening filters of optical amplification include a series o f filter components with spectral responses that are combined to approach a target loss spectrum. Small variations in the central wavelengths of the component responses can produce larg errors in the combined response of the compound gain flattening filter. However, the components can be divided into sub-components with balanced central wavelength deviations to achieve the desired response goals despite exhibiting otherwise detrimental wavelength deviations.
