<p>It is aimed at providing an inter-wavelength light power deviation monitoring method capable of directly measuring the signal light power to thereby detect the light power deviations among channels without requiring a higher wavelength resolution, and providing an optical equalizer and an optical amplifier adopting such a monitoring method. To this end, the monitoring method of the present invention comprises the steps of: obtaining channel information concerning WDM signal light; setting, based on the channel information, at least two measuring wavelength regions; measuring channel light power of the WDM signal light, for only the measuring wavelength regions; and obtaining light power ratio for the respective measuring wavelength regions making use of the measured values, to thereby judge the inter-wavelength light power deviations of the WDM signal light. <IMAGE></p> |
