Abstract: Networks and network elements having a service and power control orchestrator are disclosed, including a network element comprising a processor; a first port coupled to a first optical link carrying a first optical signal; a WSS having a multiplexer, a demultiplexer, and a control block operable to control the multiplexer/demultiplexer. The WSS operable to switch the first optical signal into a second optical signal. A second port is coupled to a second optical link, operable to carry the second optical signal, and in optical communication with the WSS. A memory stores an orchestrator application, an OTSA component, a service component, and instructions that cause the processor to: store a logical ROADM model having a connectivity matrix of the network element; receive a communication associated with the control block based on the logical ROADM model; and transmit, to the control block, a service loading sequence based on the logical ROADM model.

Abstract: Networks and network elements having an optical power control block, service and power control orchestrator, used to activate, deactivate and perform optical control of channels is disclosed hereby. The invention introduces the idea that, user created service would be activated or deactivated in smaller increments which would help to mitigate power transient on the transmission line. This approach of incremental activation or deactivation would help to correct against undesirable power changes on rest of the optical channels sharing the common optical path. In addition, it provides a way to monitor the health of increment under activation throughout the activation and if necessary optical power thresholds being not met, it can be rolled back. During the process of such an incremental activation or deactivation, the already activated portion of the channel would continue to be optically controlled independently.
