  • Publication number: 20240333383
    Abstract: Systems and methods for alien wavelength management. One embodiment is an apparatus for managing alien wavelengths for a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system. The apparatus includes memory to store signal thresholds for alien wavelength signals transmitting over the WDM system, wherein the alien wavelength signals are generated by third-party equipment independently controlled from the WDM system. The apparatus also includes an Alien Wavelength Control Unit (AWCU) coupled between the third-party equipment and a channelization port of the WDM system, the AWCU configured to measure a signal parameter of an alien wavelength signal transmitted by the third-party equipment to the channelization port. The apparatus further includes a controller coupled with the AWCU and configured, in response to determining that the signal parameter is outside a signal threshold of the WDM system, to direct the AWCU to modify the alien wavelength signal to protect the WDM system.

  • Publication number: 20230112320
    Abstract: Systems and methods for alien wavelength management. One embodiment is an apparatus for managing alien wavelengths for a Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) system. The apparatus includes memory configured to store assigned frequency spectrums of corresponding destination third-party equipment for receiving alien wavelength signals, wherein the alien wavelength signals are generated by source third-party equipment independently controlled from the WDM system. The apparatus also includes an Alien Wavelength Control Unit (AWCU) coupled between one or more channelization ports of the WDM system and one or more destination third-party equipment, and a controller configured to direct the AWCU to filter the alien wavelength signal based on the assigned frequency spectrums, wherein the filter transmits the alien wavelength signal to a destination third-party equipment corresponding with an assigned frequency spectrum.
