    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), and the input signal is split into at least two parts, with one part being associated with one or more trunk terminals and another part being associated with one or more branch terminals. Each of one or more spectrum channels are selected and individually switched to one of a plurality of paths using at least one wavelength selective switch (WSS), with the at least one WSS being configured to transmit the one or more spectrum channels to their respective target output port and to combine signals switched to a specific port into a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) signal. Individual spectrum channels are filtered out using at least one wavelength blocker (WB).

    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.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for data transport, including submarine reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers, branching units configured to receive signals from trunk terminals (TTs), and dummy light filters configured to pass useful signals through the filters, and to reflect dummy light. 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.
