Abstract: Methods and systems for sensing conditions of a fiber include splitting a light signal into two branches. A first branch is converted to have a mode different from that of the second branch. Both branches are mode multiplexed into a single fiber. An output of the fiber is mode demultiplexed into the two branches. The first branch is mode converted to its original mode. Brillouin scattering patterns of the two branches are compared to determine a temperature and strain profile of the fiber.

The updating includes monitoring a transmission progress of each of one or more flows in a network of interconnected computing devices and moving completed flows from the flow table to a success list, moving requests in the waiting list table which have reached an attempt threshold from the flow table to a fail list, and compiling any residual requests in the waiting list with new requests to generate a new request table. A deterministic request allocation and/or an optimizing request allocation is performed based on the new request table.

Abstract: A wavelength division multiplexing system and method featuring a wavelength monitor that is configured to receive a portion of a combined signal of wavelength division multiplexing channels and determine the wavelengths of each channel or the guardband between each channel in the combined signal. The wavelength monitor determines if there is excess laser drift for each channel in the combined signal. If excess laser drift is determined, feedback is sent to the transmitter for the signal with excess laser drift and the signal is adjusted to produce a target wavelength. The wavelength monitor may utilize optical intradyning in order to monitor the wavelengths of each channel in the combined signal.
