Abstract: Systems and methods are described in which circuitry of a first controller of a first node receives a first signal indicating an optical loss of signal within the first path. Circuitry of a second controller of the first node on the first path within a transport network generates a second signal indicating a failure within the first path. The first controller accessing a network topology database determines that restoration of the first path would be ineffective due to there being no alternate path, and signals a second node downstream in the first path with the second signal indicating the failure within the first path, and a third signal indicating that restoration of the first path would be ineffective due to there being no alternate path.

Abstract: A method and system are herein disclosed. A coherent optical receiver receives a first optical data carrier signal at a first instant of time and a second optical data carrier signal at a second instant of time, generates at least four first data streams from the first optical data carrier signal and at least four second data streams from the second optical data carrier signal; and circuitry calculates a first aggregate power of the first data streams and a second aggregate power of the second data streams; applies an adjustable temporal low pass filter to the first aggregate power and the second aggregate power resulting in a compensation power, the adjustable temporal low pass filter adjusted to achieve a performance metric; and phase-rotates the first data streams and the second data streams proportional to the compensation power.

Abstract: Memory devices, methods and systems are described in which a non-transitory memory device stores instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: receive, via an input component, at least one message from a network element in a multi-layer network comprising information indicative of at least one failure of a working path; determine based at least in part on information indicative of a data transport path coincident with the working path in a second layer in the network different from the first layer, an alternate path in the first layer for transmission of the data through the multi-layer network; and transmit, via an output component, at least one signal comprising configuration instructions to at least one line module, the configuration instructions directing the line module to switch and transmit the data using the alternate path.

Abstract: A telecommunication appliance and method is described. In the method, a flexible cover part of an appliance cover of a telecommunication appliance supported by a telecommunication rack is removed while the telecommunication appliance is in service and passing data. The telecommunication appliance has a plurality of pluggable optical modules installed within connectors within a space encompassed by the appliance cover. The connectors are operably connected to a power supply supplying power to the connectors. When a first one of the connectors is devoid of a pluggable optical module being installed within the first one of the connectors, a first pluggable optical module is plugged into the first one of the connectors.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and optical power controllers are disclosed. Various problems caused by the use of a single L0 power controller in the prior art are addressed by using first and second L0 power controllers with the first L0 power controller managing first optical components with the optical network, and the second L0 power controller managing second optical components within the optical network.

Abstract: A method is described in which a database is monitored. The database includes information specifying allocations of time periods in which a first optical carrier corresponding to a first optical channel will not be supplying encoded first data into output optical signals being transmitted from a first node to a second node. An idler carrier being amplified stimulated emission light having a frequency corresponding to the first optical channel is supplied into the output optical signals transmitted from the first node to the second node during the time periods in which the first optical carrier will not be supplying encoded first data into the output optical signals.
