  • Patent number: 9363011
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for monitoring and controlling an optical node 100. The optical node 100 including one or more optical components 120, 121 or 122 connected by optical fiber carrying an optical signal 102. The optical signal 102 including a plurality of optical channels. A set of measurement sequences is determined, each measurement sequence defining a set of optical channels from the plurality of optical channels and a measuring sequence for measuring an optical property of the set of optical channels. A measurement sequence is selected from the set of measurement sequences based on the operating conditions of the optical node 100. The optical properties of the set of optical channels of the selected measurement sequence are measured. The measured optical properties are analyzed to determine whether one or more optical components 120, 121 or 122 are causing the optical node 100 to operate outside the tolerance of a defined set of operating conditions.

  • Patent number: 9020348
    Abstract: A light source package is disclosed for a Raman amplifier node having a primary optical fiber for carrying an optical signal and a secondary optical fiber for carrying the optical signal when the signal is rerouted from the primary optical fiber. The light source package includes a primary light source for emitting light into the primary optical fiber when the optical signal is carried by the primary optical fiber to induce Raman gain of the optical signal, and a secondary light source for emitting light into the secondary optical fiber when the optical signal is carried by the secondary optical fiber to induce Raman gain of the optical signal.
