20130120826 | IN-BAND SIGNALING IN OPTICAL CROSS-CONNECT SWITCH USING FREQUENCY MODULATION - In a multiple-axis free-space-coupled single-mode fiber-optic transmission system, such as an optical cross-connect switch, a method and apparatus are provided for the closed loop attenuation of optical beam power signals employed to align and cause dithering via MEMS mirrors which are manipulated to impose on the optical beam frequency modulation and, in particular, a time-varying set of induced mirror angles that yield a desired time history of optical power level that is modulated according to a digital code in the frequency modulation pattern. | 05-16-2013 |

20130094855 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING OPTICAL DISTRIBUTION NETWORK - A method for generating optical paths in a photonic network is provided. A model of a photonic network is used to store relationship information that describes the relationships between photonic network elements, as well as configuration information about the elements of the photonic network. A path manager receives a request to generate one or more paths based on an input port and one or more output ports. Using the information stored in the photonic network model, the path manager generates one or more candidate paths. | 04-18-2013 |
