摘要： A method and system for multi-level power management in an optical network is provided. They include three levels of power management. The first level of power management dynamically changes equipment settings in each module of equipment so that required module setpoint values in each module are achieved. The second level of power management determines module setpoint values for each module of equipment within each node in the optical link so that required node setpoint values are achieved. The third level of power management determines node setpoint values at each node in the optical link so that the optical link meets predetermined power specifications. If any of the three levels cannot achieve the required setpoint values, an error signal is generated by that level of power management and sent to the level of power management above it, thus initiating a higher level of power management. As a result, a dynamic and automatic adjustment to changing operating conditions and configurations in the network is provided, which allows to maintain relatively stable network powers. Each level of power management is implemented such that sections of the network can operate independent of each other, thus increasing the survivability of the network.

摘要： A method for determining locations and gain settings of amplifiers in an optical network is provided. The method comprises evaluating allowable amplifier locations, randomly generating sets of amplifier locations from the allowable amplifier locations, and applying genetic operations to the sets of amplifier locations until a predetermined exit condition is satisfied. This systematic method is applicable to a variety of network topologies and takes into account existing network limitations. In one embodiment, the method for determining the locations and gain settings of the amplifiers uses the amount of operating margin in the network to select sets of locations to be eliminated. In another embodiment, the method takes into account and determines the placement of dispersion compensation modules (DCMs), choices of which are provided by DCM placement procedures.

摘要： A method for determining locations and gain settings of optical amplifiers in an optical network is provided. The method comprises evaluating allowable amplifier locations and successively eliminating selected locations until no further locations can be eliminated without the network violating predetermined specifications. This systematic method is applicable to a variety of network topologies and takes into account existing network limitations. In one embodiment, the method for determining the locations and gain settings of the amplifiers uses the amount of operating margin in the network to select locations to be eliminated. In another embodiment, the method is repeated a number of times with different selections of amplifier locations, and the method providing the arrangement with the least number of amplifiers is chosen.

摘要： A method and system for determining location and value of dispersion compensating modules (DCMs) in an optical network is provided. The method comprises evaluating possible DCM values and locations and successively adding selected combinations to the network until the dispersion limits of the network are met. This systematic method is applicable to a variety of network topologies. In one embodiment, the method for determining the location and value of the DCMs uses the amount of compensated effective dispersion over all lightpaths that pass through the DCM to select the combinations. In another embodiment, the method is repeated a number of times with different selections of DCM value and location combinations, and the method providing the least number of DCMs and the lowest DCM values is chosen.

摘要： Devices and methods are provided for a re-configurable optical add/drop multiplexer (ROADM) having a static circulator, a selectable grating and a reversible circulator. The use of a reversible circulator in a known optical drop multiplexer configuration allows the selectable grating to be used for selecting both the add-wavelength and the drop-wavelength while maintaining an East/West architectural split to allow for SONET compliant maintenance. This invention provides a cost-effective enhancement to a duplex reflective wavelength selective ROADM.

摘要： Apparatuses and methods are provided for chromatic dispersion compensation of wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical signals within an optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) and especially within a remotely reconfigurable add/drop multiplexer (RROADM). The arrangement is especially useful in metro or regional networks where RROADMs can be dynamically reconfigured to deliver signals from any node to any other node. A dispersion compensation module (DCM) is located in the multiplexed through path of the RROADM between the drop module and the add module such that only wavelengths passing through the RROADM are compensated and shorter optical paths traversing only one span between adjacent nodes are not compensated. This allows lower cost static DCMs to be used, allows more flexibility in DCM values and allows fewer DCMs to be used while maintaining dispersion limits.

摘要： An optical connection arrangement is provided in an optical path to facilitate changing optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) and other optical component modules while optical traffic is present on the optical path, with minimal interruption to such traffic. The connection arrangement has a plurality of optical ports to each of which an optical component can be coupled, and one or more optical switches which can be controlled to selectively include in the optical path or bypass each optical port. Such connection arrangements can be coupled in series and/or in parallel for convenient modular add/drop configurations and for opposite directions of transmission of optical traffic on respective optical paths.

摘要： A method and apparatus for distributed measurement of chromatic dispersion in an optical network is disclosed. The network comprises optical switching nodes interconnected by optical links. An optical link may comprise multiple spans, each span ending in a transport module which comprises signal-processing components. At least one optical switching node has a probing signal generator transmitting an optical probing signal along a selected path in the network. Probing-signal detectors placed at selected transport modules determine chromatic-dispersion values and send results to a processing unit which determines appropriate placement of compensators or appropriate adjustments of compensators placed along the path. A preferred probing signal has the form of wavelength modulated optical carrier which is further intensity modulated by a periodic, preferably sinusoidal, probing tone. Variation in the phase-shift of the probing tone corresponding to variation of the wavelength of the optical probing signal determines chromatic-dispersion characteristics for different spans of the path.
