Abstract

Adjusting power for a WDM optical transmission system comprising emitter means, an optical transmission line, and receiver means, the method being characterized in that for each wavelength channel, the power emitted for said channel by the emitter means is adjusted as a function of the optical powers received for said channel at a plurality of points distributed along the transmission line.
