In this work, we investigate the performance of a distributed power control algorithm (DPCA) for signal-to-interference (SIR) optimization in wavelength-hopping time spreading code routed networks. These networks are based on 2D codes (time/wavelength) to establish end-to-end optical code paths (OCPs). The SIR model considers multiple access interference (MAI) between OCPs and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) at cascaded amplified spans. The utilization of power control has a significant impact on both performance and capacity of practical optical networks. The DPCA can be effectively implemented in each node because uses only local parameters or measurements.
