Abstract: A method for tuning a tunable optical transmitter to a target wavelength includes applying at least one tuning signal to the tunable optical transmitter to control the tunable optical transmitter to create an optical calibration signal according to nominal tuning information for the tunable optical transmitter. The optical calibration signal has a wavelength lying within a secure wavelength range, and the nominal tuning information is based on a nominal wavelength dependency for the tunable optical transmitter. The method also includes measuring a deviation between an actual wavelength dependency of the tunable optical transmitter and the nominal wavelength dependency, and determining calibration information based on that deviation. The calibration information is applied to determine a corrected nominal wavelength dependency from which target tuning information is determined. The tunable optical transmitter is controlled to create an optical channel signal according to the target tuning information.

Abstract: A transparent optical overlay network (1) for providing end-to-end optical spectrum services over multiple transparent optical network domains (2) is described. The transparent optical overlay network (1) includes network domain interface devices, NDIDs, (3) provided at domain boundaries between adjacent transparent optical network domains (2). The network domain interface device, NDID (3), monitors and adjusts incoming optical signals received by the NDID (3) from a first transparent optical network domain (2-1) and monitors and adjusts outgoing optical signals output by the NDID (3) to an adjacent second transparent optical network domain (2-2). An overlay network controller (5) manages and controls the end-to-end optical spectrum services by controlling the NDIDs (3). The overlay network controller collects telemetry data (TDATA) for optical spectrum service characterization and SLA policing of the optical spectrum services.
