    Abstract: A communication system includes a first optical system and a second optical system optically connected to a clamping laser and a pump laser. The first optical system includes first and second optical splitters. The first optical splitter is configured to receive a clamping laser signal from the clamping laser and split the signal into split clamping laser signals. The second optical splitter is configured to receive a pump laser signal from the pump laser and split signal into split pump laser signals. The second optical system is optically connected to the first optical system and includes amplifier systems. Each amplifier system is configured to receive a multiplexed signal. The second optical system includes first and second combiners optically connected to an erbium-doped fiber. The first combiner is optically connected to the first splitter, and the second combiner is optically connected to the second splitter.

    Abstract: A communication system includes a first multiplexer configured to multiplex a first optical line terminal signal having a first multiplexing group and a second optical line terminal signal having a second multiplexing group into a first multiplexed signal. The communication system includes a second multiplexer configured to demultiplex a second multiplexed signal into a third optical line terminal signal having the first multiplexing group and a fourth optical line terminal signal having the second multiplexing group. Moreover, the communication system includes a third multiplexer optically connected with the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer, the third multiplexer configured to multiplex/demultiplex between a feeder optical signal and the first and second multiplexed signals. The first and second optical line terminal signals include a legacy upstream free spectral range, and the third and fourth optical line terminal signals include a legacy downstream free spectral range.

    Abstract: A remote node includes a first node input, a second node input, and an optical switch. The optical switch includes a first switch input optically coupled to the first node input, a second switch input optically coupled to the second node input, a first switch output switchably coupled to the first switch input or the second switch input, and a second switch output switchably coupled to the first switch input or the second switch input. The remote node includes a photodiode optically coupled to the second switch output, and a capacitor electrically coupled to the photodiode and the optical switch. When the first switch input is switchably coupled to the first switch output, the second switch input is switchably coupled to the second switch output. Light received by the second switch input passes out the second switch output to the photodiode. The photodiode charges the capacitor to a threshold charge.
