Abstract

Techniques, apparatus and systems for optical communications, including fiber ring networks with protection switching to maintain optical communications when an optical failure occurs and to automatically revert to normal operation when the optical failure is corrected, fiber ring networks that provide a circulating optical probe signal at an optical probe wavelength within the gain spectral range of optical amplifiers used in a fiber ring network to detect an optical failure, and fiber ring networks that support broadcast-and-select optical WDM signals carrying communication traffic to the optical ring nodes without regeneration at each optical ring node and one or more overlaid in-band node-to-node optical signals carrying communication traffic with regeneration at each node.
