Problems solved by technology

Especially in the case of multi-wavelength add / drop, the power level imbalance of each wavelength is more serious
Usually, when designing OADM (for example: OADM scheme of discrete optical switch device + integrated optical multiplexing / demultiplexing device), all wavelength channels are firstly demultiplexed, power equalized separately, and then multiplexed into one On the root fiber, that is to say, whether it is a straight-through wavelength or an add-on / drop-off wavelength, power equalization must be performed separately, and a separate equalizer is required, so the cost is very high
In addition, in the currently commonly used power equalization scheme, for each wavelength of the WDM signal, the equalized power level reference is pre-clamped by hardware and cannot be changed in real time, which brings great limitations to practical use. sex
