Abstract
The rapid growth of data-intensive services has driven the need for high-capacity optical networks. C+L band optical communication systems have emerged as a potential solution by extending the operational bandwidth. However, the wider spectrum introduces significant stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) effects that impact signal power profile, Kerr nonlinearity, and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an optical power control strategy designed to achieve a flat optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) across all transmitted channels, which is particularly effective in mitigating SRS effects in C+L band systems. Furthermore, a link damage recovery algorithm is developed to ensure system robustness against localized fiber degradations. Extensive simulations are conducted to compare the performance of the proposed strategy with the conventional flat launch power approach under single-span and multi-span transmission scenarios. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy achieves a higher minimum generalized signal-to-noise ratio (GSNR), exhibits stronger resilience to link damage across a wide range of transmission conditions.
