Abstract
An optical transmission system may include a combination of higher gain repeaters and lower gain repeaters, arranged to manage gain tilt. The higher gain repeaters and lower gain repeaters may be arranged to allow net gain to vary (e.g., above and below zero) within a predetermined acceptable net gain excursion. In one embodiment, the higher gain repeaters have a nominal gain value higher than a nominal span loss value and the lower gain repeaters have a nominal gain value lower than the nominal span loss value.
