Abstract:
An amplifier receives an optical signal including a number of labeled channels via a fiber. The amplifier determines a count of the labeled channels and a spectral distribution of the labeled channels. The amplifier adjusts a parameter of the amplifier based on the count of the labeled channels and the spectral distribution of the labeled channels. The amplifier amplifies the optical signal at an adjusted output gain resulting from adjusting the parameter of the amplifier.

Claim (Index 8):
An apparatus comprising:\n a processor; and a memory to store computer program instructions, the computer program instructions when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform operations comprising: receiving an optical signal; detecting a plurality of labeled channels of the optical signal, wherein a number of the plurality of labeled channels being received is less than a number of labeled channels previously received; decoding each label of the plurality of labeled channels to determine a respective wavelength corresponding to each of the plurality of labeled channels; determining a spectral distribution of the plurality of labeled channels based on the decoding; adjusting a parameter of the amplifier based on the number of labeled channels being received and the spectral distribution of the plurality of labeled channels; and amplifying the optical signal received based on the adjusting.
