Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for configuring a spectral loading pattern for a transmission line segment in an optical network, the method comprising obtaining at least one loading policy, activating at least one of the at least one loading policy, receiving a plurality of requested operations, obtaining one or more static datapoint and one or more dynamic datapoint associated with the transmission line segment, obtaining loading parameters and one or more loading algorithm from the at least one activated loading policy, generating a loading response according to the one or more loading algorithm, and changing a spectral loading pattern of the transmission line segment based on the loading response. The requested operations may identify operations to be executed in either of a current cycle or one or more subsequent cycle. The loading response may identify a subset of the operations to be executed in the current cycle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for correcting power excursions. One exemplary network element may be provided with a processor; a first line port; a flexible ROADM module including a wavelength selective switch, a multiplexer, and one or more control block; a second line port; and a memory storing an orchestrator application and processor-executable instructions. Responsive to receiving a first signal indicative of an impending network state change, the processor-executable instructions cause the processor to pause all power adjustments by the control block on the flexible ROADM module and save at least one power set point value for each active passband from a first optical signal multiplexed into a second optical signal; and responsive to receiving a second signal indicative of the network state change, adjust an optical power of each active passband from the first optical signal multiplexed into the second optical signal using the power set point values.

Abstract: A retrofit assembly includes a first lighting module, a second lighting module, and a hub positioned between the first lighting module and the second lighting module. When the first lighting module and second lighting module are at least partially received within cavities formed in the hub, longitudinal axes of the first lighting module and the second lighting module are aligned approximately parallel to one another.

Abstract: A retrofit assembly has a pan and a light emitting diode (LED) light source. The pan has a base extending along a longitudinal axis. The base is defined by a plurality of segments, including a seat, first and second legs, a first foot, a second foot, and retaining walls. The seat extends in a first plane. The first and second legs angle laterally and vertically away from opposite sides of the seat. The first foot extends away from the first leg within a second plane offset from and parallel to the first plane. The second foot extends away from the second leg within a third plane offset from and parallel to the first plane. The retaining walls extend vertically away from each of the first and second feet toward the first plane. The LED light source supports a plurality of LEDs coupled to the base.

Abstract: A retrofit assembly includes at least first and second lighting modules, and at least a central hub positioned between the first lighting module and the second lighting module. Each lighting module includes a tray extending along a longitudinal axis and supporting a solid state light source on a seat defining a plane, a set of legs extending from each side of the seat, and a set of wings extending from the legs and parallel to the plane of the seat, the wings including first and second groups of mounting holes. First and second lenses might be provided to extend across a portion of the seats.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a software defined optical network is proposed, the optical network comprising a number of optical network nodes connected via optical links, the method including: remotely controlling a first node to send a test light signal to a second node; remotely configuring the second node to generate a predetermined response to the test light signal when the second node receives the test light signal; detecting whether a response is received; and processing the detection result to derive information relating to the operating condition of at least one of the first node and the second node.

Abstract: A single sideband signal is generated from an input optical signal. An optical phase modulator performs optical phase modulation on the input optical signal in accordance with a control signal to produce the single sideband signal. A converter converts the input optical signal into a corresponding electrical signal. A control signal generator generates the control signal in response to an optical signal pulse shape of the input optical signal.
