    摘要: Systems and methods include monitoring users logging into a collaboration service for a corresponding online meeting; and assigning a plurality of the users to a virtual waiting room, separate from any corresponding online meeting, in advance of their corresponding online meeting to enable collaboration in the virtual waiting room. The systems and methods can further include notifying the plurality of users when their corresponding online meeting has started for the plurality of users to leave the virtual waiting room.

    摘要: Systems and method include a detector communicatively coupled to a fiber span; and processing circuitry connected to the detector and configured to digitally sample and process an output of the detector, detect phase changes in the output, and identify an electrostrictive response of the fiber span based on the detected phase changes and based on a dependence of the detected phase changes with frequency. A property of the fiber span can be determined on the electrostrictive response. The property of the optical fiber can include one or more of optical fiber material type, optical fiber material property, optical fiber area, optical fiber geometry, optical fiber condition, optical fiber stress and strain, optical fiber temperature. and optical fiber radiation exposure.

    摘要: Systems and methods for distributed measurement in a network implemented by an orchestrator include directing one or more modules associated with one or more network elements to each perform a subset of the distributed measurement; receiving results from at least one network element of the one or more network elements based on the directing; and detecting an event or property based on the results. The subset of the distributed measurement can be based on performance monitoring data. The method can further include shuffling assignments for the distributed measurement between the one or more modules

    摘要: An optical transmitter (102,200) is operable to generate an optical signal (260) by modulating a number N of frequency divisional multiplexing (FDM) subcarriers using transformed digital signals which are determined by applying a pseudo FDM (pFDM) transformation to preliminary digital signals representative of multi-bit symbols. Rather than experiencing the effects of the number N of FDM channels, the optical signal experiences the effects of a different number M of pFDM channels, where M≠N. In some examples, the number M of pFDM channels is less than the number N of FDM channels, and frequency-dependent degradations may be averaged across different symbol streams. In other examples, the number M of pFDM channels is greater than the number N of FDM channels, and different symbol streams may experience different frequency-dependent degradations. An optical receiver (102,300) is operable to apply an inverse pFDM transformation to recover estimates of the multi-bit symbols.

    摘要: Methods and assemblies for determining a property or environment of an optical fiber, including: measuring a frequency dependent electrostrictive response of an optical fiber; and based on the measured frequency dependent electrostrictive response, determining a property of the optical fiber. The property or environment of the optical fiber includes one or more of optical fiber type, optical fiber material type, optical fiber material property, optical fiber area, optical fiber geometry, optical fiber condition, optical fiber stress and strain, optical fiber environment, optical fiber temperature, optical fiber routing, optical fiber spooling, and optical fiber radiation exposure.
