Method And System For An Optical Connection Service Interface

摘要

Methods and systems for an optical connection service interface may include, in an optical data link comprising an optical fiber, a local control system, first and second transceivers at ends of the optical fiber, generating a control signal for the local control system at a low frequency and communicating, utilizing the optical fiber, an optical data signal at a high frequency and an optical service signal for an Optical Connection Service interface (OCSi) at an intermediate frequency. An optical signal may be modulated at the intermediate frequencies for the OCSi, and may be modulated and communicated to the second transceiver. The communicated modulated signal and the optical data signal may be detected utilizing a photodetector in the second transceiver. The detected optical signal may be demodulated, and an optical power of the optical data signal may be configured based on the demodulated signal.
