摘要 |
An apparatus comprising one or more optical amplifiers coupled to an optical link and configured to amplify a plurality of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) channels that are transmitted at a plurality of wavelengths on the optical link, and a processor coupled to the optical link and configured to add, delete, or both a plurality of WDM channels in the optical link based on an allowed power ratio indication for the WDM channels, wherein the allowed power ratio indication is calculated based on a plurality of gain change representations for the WDM channels at a plurality of power ratios and on a link budget requirement for the optical link.
