Abstract
A device for equalizing the gain-wavelength characteristics of an optical repeater used in a long distance optical transmission system, wherein the gain-wavelength characteristics are equalized by one optical filter having asymmetrical loss-wavelength characteristics in a desired wavelength range order to flatten the gain-wavelength characteristics curve over a wide wavelength range. Since such a device can equalize the gain by one optical filter, adjustment the would normally be required between plural optical filters is unnecessary, so that it is simple and cost effective.
