    Abstract: A method is provided for provisioning time-varying traffic demands in an optical transport software-defined network. The method includes pre-provisioning an amount of bandwidth for best effort traffic. The method further includes iteratively applying, using a processor, an iterative simulated annealing-based traffic provisioning procedure to determine candidate bandwidths for the best effort traffic in a set of iterations. The method also includes selecting a particular candidate bandwidth that has a corresponding blocking value lower than a given blocking requirement β and that requires a minimum amount of spectrum as compared to other candidate bandwidths. The iteratively applying step includes varying the amount of bandwidth for best effort traffic in each iteration to determine the candidate bandwidths. The iteratively applying step further includes varying an amount of shared bandwidth between neighboring channels, out of the amount of bandwidth for best effort traffic, in each iteration, to further determine the candidate bandwidths.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for optical communication in a submarine network are provided. An input signal is received from a terminal at a reconfigurable branching unit (BU), wherein the BU enables bidirectional transmission between any two terminals, and the input signal is demultiplexed into at least one individual waveband or wavelength using at least one demultiplexer. Each demultiplexed waveband is passed through optical switches, with corresponding optical switches for the same demultiplexed waveband provided for transmission in the reverse direction. Independent per-waveband switching is performed using a demultiplexer-switch-multiplexer (DSM) architecture. Each demultiplexed waveband is multiplexed at each output port using at least one multiplexer to combine signals from different sources, and combined signals are transmitted to a destination terminal.

Optical interleavers are configured to separate useful signals into two or more groups of optical channels, and the optical channels are set to a frequency of either a left or a right portion of a total channel bandwidth. De-interleavers merge signal groups together from trunk terminals, and lasers at each of the transponders at the source terminals are configured to adjust a destination of a channel by fine tuning a frequency or wavelength of the one or more signals.
