摘要： An optical network for reassigning a carrier wavelength of an optical signal may include first and second optical nodes. The first optical node may be configured to transmit an optical signal along an optical path. The first optical node may also be configured to tune a carrier wavelength of the optical signal from a first wavelength to a second wavelength, according to a continuous function, to reassign the carrier wavelength of the optical signal. The second optical node may be configured to receive the optical signal and may include a feedback loop configured to adjust a wavelength of a reference optical signal to approximate the carrier wavelength of the optical signal.
