    摘要: Systems and methods for reliable and low cost optical connection verification. One application is verification and monitoring of optical cross-connect performance. A connection is verified by splitting off optical signals at both ports of the connection, converting the signals to electrical signals, and then cross-correlating to verify connectivity between the ports. Lowpass filtering applied to the electrical signals may be applied to reduce the complexity of the cross-correlation.

    摘要: An autoprotected optical communication ring network is disclosed. The ring network includes two optical carriers that are arranged for bidirectional transmission. Multiple optically reconfigurable nodes are connected along the optical carriers. The nodes communicate in pairs, defining non-overlapping working links. Under normal conditions, the nodes of each pair are optically configured to exchange optical signals over the working link at a first wavelength on the first carrier and at a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength on the second carrier. During a failure condition, the first wavelength on the second carrier and the second wavelength on the first carrier are reserved for effecting a protection scheme, while the first wavelength on the first carrier and the second wavelength on the second carrier can still be used for unaffected working links.

    摘要: An optical communication system for communicating at least a first optical system. The optical communication system includes a first primary guided optical path and a first secondary guided optical path, through each of which the first optical signal is configured to propagate. A first primary optical amplifier is provided in the first primary guided optical path and is configured to transmit an overmodulation frequency of the first optical signal. A first secondary optical amplifier is provided in the first secondary guided optical path and is configured to transmit the overmodulation frequency of the first optical signal. A controller controls propagation of the first optical signal from the first primary guided optical path to the first secondary guided optical path based on the detected presence of the overmodulation frequency.
