    Abstract: Hybrid dilated Benes photonic switching architectures employ an arrangement of two-by-one (2×1) photonic and two-by-two (2×2) photonic elements to enjoy improved cross-talk performance while maintaining moderate cell counts. A jumpsuit switch optical network node architecture comprising multiple stages may operate more efficiently than single stage switching fabrics, by enabling manipulation of connectivity in some stages to achieve load balancing over other stages. Specifically, a first stage of switching fabrics connected to input ports of the optical node may be manipulated to load balance incoming signals over a second stage of switching fabrics coupled to output ports of the optical node. Additionally, a third stage of switching fabrics connected to add ports of the optical node may be manipulated to load balance added optical signals over the second stage of switching fabrics.

    Abstract: An attenuation amount corresponding to each wavelength at OADM node is optimized according to a calculation result in a network management system (NMS), so that an optical signal level diagram according to traffic volume variations is set, the level diagram allows each of optical signal quality indexes at terminal nodes for all wavelengths to be maintained at a required threshold value or more, and allows an optical signal quality index of a specific wavelength to be improved. Then, an FEC circuit in an optical receiver corresponding to the specific wavelength is turned OFF or the error correction ability is lowered, whereby power consumption of an overall optical network is efficiently reduced.

    Abstract: An optical add/drop multiplexer branching unit is provided, where the optical add/drop multiplexer branching unit includes: a trunk input end, a branch input end, a trunk output end, a branch output end, an optical add/drop multiplexer, a first coupler, a first detection circuit, and a control circuit, where the optical add/drop multiplexer includes an optical switch. A detection circuit detects whether a fault occurs in a trunk, and in a case in which a fault occurs in the trunk, a working mode is switched from a first working mode to a second working mode, to implement automatic redundancy on the trunk and ensure normal communication on a branch. According to the foregoing solution, a redundancy function is implemented without integrating an amplifier. Manual intervention is unnecessary, and a redundancy response speed is fast, thereby improving a redundancy effect, and significantly reducing an economic loss caused by system service transmission interruption. A used optical switch component is small in size, has a low requirement on structure space, and is of low complexity in structural design. Therefore, structural complexity is reduced, so as to reduce costs and improve reliability.
