    Abstract: An optical network and a method of use are herein disclosed. The optical network comprises a fiber optic line, two or more ROADMs, and an orchestrator comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: receive an operation to execute, the operation being a loading of a first optical service on the fiber optic line by a local ROADM; determine a status of a downstream ROADM as being available; reserve the downstream ROADM for the loading of the first optical service by preventing the downstream ROADM from loading a second optical service on the fiber optic line and disabling one or more control block of the downstream ROADM, thereby preventing the one or more control block from adjusting a configuration of the downstream ROADM; and load the first optical service on the fiber optic line.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems involving an event scheduler sub-system configured for aggregation, prioritization, and serialization of software application events, including a method comprising receiving event and associated event data; determining event type and event object key; storing the event data in an event handler data table; generating a priority group number and an insertion order number associated with the event; generating a new queue element comprising the priority group number, the insertion order number, a reference to the event handler, the object key, and the event type; inserting the new queue element to an event scheduler priority queue; sending a signal from the event handler to the event scheduler indicating availability of the new queue element to process; retrieving the event data associated with a queue element with a highest priority in the priority queue; and passing the event data to an admin application for processing.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for computing a launch power for an optical node by collecting data for an optical network segment and inputting the collected data and first power spectral density values into a machine learning model which are used to compute a first non-linear interference value. A first generalized-optical signal-to-noise ratio value is computed using the computed first non-linear interference value and amplified spontaneous emission values. At least one second generalized-optical signal-to-noise ratio value is computed using at least one second non-linear interference value, computed using at least one second power spectral density values, and the amplified spontaneous emission values. A highest generalized-optical signal-to-noise ratio value is determined by comparing the first generalized-optical signal-to-noise ratio value and the at least one second generalized-optical signal-to-noise ratio value. A launch power is computed using the power spectral density values associated with the highest generalized-optical signal-to-noise ratio.

    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: 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.
