Abstract: Switching technology may be incorporated into various systems, components, and/or architectures in a fiber optic network to promote network reconfigurability and design flexibility. A signal access unit comprises an input, an output, an access port, a switch arrangement including a switch, and a controller. The switch optically couples the input to the output and not to the access port when in a first configuration, and optically couples the access port to at least one of the input and the output without optically coupling the input and the output together when in a second configuration. The controller is configured to receive an indication of a selected wavelength and to operate the switch arrangement to change the switch between the first and second configurations based on the indication of the selected wavelength.

Abstract: Optical systems that employ concentric multi core fibers (MCFs) are discussed. Some of the systems discussed are based on the use of a concentric MCF that has a single mode core, capable of carrying a broadband data signal, and a multimode core, which carries optical signals that do not require as high a bandwidth as the broadband data signal. In one embodiment, the multimode core carries system management data. In another embodiment, the multimode core carries a high power optical signal that provides remote power. In another embodiment, the multimode core carries a pump signal for a downstream fiber amplifier. In yet another embodiment, the multimode core carries an optical signal, for example visible light, that can be used to verify connectivity.
