The reference optical spectrum (ROS) based in-band optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR) monitoring methods are accurate and inherently robust to fiber chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. They are also very simple and suitable to be deployed ubiquitously in the transmission system. In this paper, a ROS-based in-band OSNR monitoring method is proposed for erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) amplified multispan dense wavelength division multiplexing systems with cascaded filtering effect (CFE) caused by cascaded add-drop filters or wavelength selective switches. In such systems, the optical signal as well as the optical noise may experience significant CFE making the ROS-based methods proposed before ineffective. The new method solves this problem and performs very well for OSNR in the range of 10-30 dB when the fiber nonlinear effect and nonideal filtering effect are present. The OSNR monitor based on the new method is also more convenient to use as only one-time calibration is required when used at different monitoring locations along the optical link.
