Abstract: The power of an optical signal (s 1 ) travelling on a channel (λ 1 ) of a WDM
transmission system, is measured using a signature bit pattern (s BP1 ) which is
inserted in the frame of the optical signal (s 1 ). The power level of s BP1  is
adjusted at the launching point to a predetermined ratio (m) with the power of the
optical signal. At a point of interest, the fiber is tapped and a fraction of the tapped
signal, that includes a corresponding fraction of s BP1 , is converted to an electrical
signal. The fraction of s BP1  is extracted from a the electrical signal and power of
s BP1  is measured. This gives the optical power of s 1  as (m) is known and also
the calibration constant for the respective channel (λ 1 ) is known. The method can
