Abstract
In this letter, we report on the effect of polarization-dependent loss (PDL) on the performance of a metro wavelength-division-multiplexing transparent optical network. We show that dynamic channel-by-channel power equalizers are needed in such networks for compensating the significant amount of PDL-induced channel power divergence that accumulates in transparent optical paths.
