Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting power in an optical signal are disclosed and a bidirectional equalized amplifier for providing bidirectional equalization, employing the apparatus and method is disclosed. Use of the method and apparatus to form a seamless ring in an optical network is also disclosed. The method of adjusting power involves splitting an input composite signal into respective drop signals in separate wavelength bands and respective pass signals with a splitter. An attenuator attenuates the drop signals to produce attenuated drop signals. A combiner combines the attenuated drop signals to produce a first output composite signal in which the power is equalized.
