Abstract
Systems and methods for preconditioning an optical spectrum through predicting optical spectral profiles in advance of capacity changes in an optical section include obtaining data associated with the optical section to model a current state of spectral loading in the optical section; responsive to a proposed capacity change in the current state of spectral loading, estimating a future state of spectral loading which includes the capacity change; and causing changes to one or more settings in the optical section to achieve an optimized spectral loading for the future state of spectral loading.
