Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for providing a white box transponder (132). The method includes a step of receiving the plurality of user inputs (104) from an orchestrator (102) at a programmable photonic switch mode system (108). The method includes another step of receiving the real-time data from an optical line system (122). The method includes yet another step of computing a run-time mode of operation based on the plurality of user inputs (104), the real-time data from the optical line system (122), a complete path computation information, and the network dimensioning data with facilitation of the programmable photonic switch mode application (110). The complete path computation information is received from a path computation engine (120). The method includes yet another step of sending the computed run-time mode of operation to the white box transponder (132) for dynamically configuring the white box transponder (132).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides system to configure one or more photonics components using a method. The method includes a first step to initialize a photonic abstraction interface driver at a photonic abstraction system. In addition, the method includes another step to call a node detection function at the photonic abstraction system. Further, the method includes yet another step to call a plurality of application programming interfaces (APIs) at the photonic abstraction system. Furthermore, the method includes yet another step to de-initialize the photonic abstraction interface driver at the photonic abstraction system. Moreover, the photonic abstraction interface driver is initialized by a photonic abstraction interface host. Also, the photonic abstraction interface host and the photonic abstraction interface driver are layers of a photonic abstraction interface (PAI). Also, the photonic abstraction interface driver translates the photonic abstraction interface (PAI) into a plurality of shared libraries.
