  • Patent number: 10999656
    Abstract: This disclosure describes devices and methods related to multiplexing optical data signals. A method may be disclosed for multiplexing one or more optical data signals. The method may comprise receiving, by a dense wave division multiplexer (DWDM), one or more optical data signals. The method may comprise combining, by the DWDM, the one or more optical data signals. The method may comprise outputting, by the DWDM, the combined one or more optical data signals to one or more wave division multiplexer (WDM). The method may comprise combining, by the one or more WDM, the combined one or more optical data signals and one or more second optical data signals, and outputting an egress optical data signal comprising the combined one or more optical data signals and one or more second optical data signals.

  • Patent number: 10993003
    Abstract: This disclosure describes devices related to multiplexing optical data signals. A system may be disclosed for multiplexing one or more optical data signals. The system may comprise a forty channel dense wave division multiplexer (DWDM) configured combine one or more optical data signals. The system may comprise a booster optical amplifier configured to amplify the combined one or more optical data signals and output a first amplified optical data signal. The system may comprise a variable optical amplifier (VOA) communicatively configured to receive the amplified first optical data signal, adjust the power of the amplified first optical data signal to a first level, and output a second optical data signal. The system may comprise a WDM communicatively coupled to the VOA, the WDM configured to output a combined second optical data signal and one or more third signals to a primary fiber.

  • Publication number: 20210084395
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and devices related to multiplexing optical data signals. A method may be disclosed for transporting optical data signals. The method may comprise transmitting, by a master terminal center (MTC) comprising a spine switch, the optical data signal to a coherent transport chassis. The method may comprise transmitting, by the coherent transport chassis, the optical data signal to a leaf switch of a secondary terminal center (STC). The method may comprise transmitting, by the leaf swtich, the optical data signal to an optical communications module link extender (OCML) in the STC. The method may comprise transmitting, by the OCML, the optical data signal to a dense wave division multiplexer (DWDM).
