    Abstract: Methods and systems for an optical connection service interface may include, in an optical data link comprising an optical fiber, a local control system, first and second transceivers at ends of the optical fiber, generating a signal for the local control system at a low frequency and communicating, utilizing the optical fiber, an optical data signal at a high frequency and an Optical Connection Service interface (OCSi) signal at an intermediate frequency. An optical signal may be modulated at the intermediate frequencies for the OCSi, and may be modulated and communicated to the second transceiver. The communicated modulated signal and the optical data signal may be detected utilizing a photodetector in the second transceiver. The detected optical signal may be demodulated, and an optical power of the optical data signal may be configured based on the demodulated signal.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for a distributed Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) with an integrated feed forward equalizer (FFE) may include a photonic chip comprising an optical modulator having diode drivers, local voltage domain splitters, and delay elements, where each is distributed along a length of the optical modulator. Outputs of the delay elements may be coupled to inputs of the local domain splitters, and outputs of the local voltage domain splitters may be coupled to inputs of the diode drivers. A feed forward equalization (FFE) module comprising a configurable delay element with inverted outputs coupled to one of the delay elements along the length of the modulator, may be coupled to a local voltage domain splitter. An input electrical signal may be received and delayed using the delay elements and coupled to the local domain splitters, and input electrical signals for the diode drivers may be generated using the local domain splitters.
