Abstract: A network or system in which a hub or primary node may communicate with a plurality of leaf or secondary nodes. The hub node may operate or have a capacity greater than that of the leaf nodes. Accordingly, relatively inexpensive leaf nodes may be deployed to receive data carrying optical signals from, and supply data carrying optical signals to, the hub node. One or more connections may couple each leaf node to the hub node, whereby each connection may include one or more spans or segments of optical fibers, optical amplifiers, optical splitters/combiners, and optical add/drop multiplexer, for example. Optical subcarriers may be transmitted over such connections, each carrying a data stream. The subcarriers may be generated by a combination of a laser and a modulator, such that multiple lasers and modulators are not required, and costs may be reduced. As the bandwidth or capacity requirements of the leaf nodes change, the number of subcarriers, and thus the amount of data provided to each node, may be changed accordingly. Each subcarrier within a dedicated group of subcarriers may carry OAM or control channel information to a corresponding leaf node, and such information may be used by the leaf node to configure the leaf node to have a desired bandwidth or capacity.

Abstract: An optical system includes an optical transmitter and a controller that determines a particular wavelength for a channel of the optical transmitter. The controller causes the optical transmitter to transmit a first optical signal with a first data sequence that is determined based on the particular wavelength, and determines a first optical power that is generated based on the first optical signal and the first data sequence. The controller causes the optical transmitter to transmit a second optical signal with a second data sequence that is determined based on the particular wavelength, and determines a second optical power that is generated based on the second optical signal and the second data sequence. The controller calculates a power difference between the first optical power and the second optical power, and causes the particular wavelength for the channel to be modified based on the calculated power difference.
