    Abstract: The disclosed systems, apparatuses and methods are directed to controlling a difference between a first center frequency of a first optical subcarrier and a second center frequency of a second optical subcarrier of an optical super-channel signal in an optical network. The method comprises modulating the first optical subcarrier at a first optical side component frequency with a first side modulation frequency and modulating the second optical subcarrier at a second optical side component frequency with a second side modulation frequency. The method further comprises detecting a radio-frequency (RF) power at a modulated beat frequency tone in the modified optical signal.

    Abstract: The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to an optical transceiver, employing a first optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) module configured to generate a first OTDR signal, and a second OTDR signal, the second OTDR signal being a delayed version of the first OTDR signal, a first optical supervisory channel (OSC) transmitter configured to generate a first OSC signal, and a second OSC signal, the second OSC signal being a delayed version of the first OSC signal, a first wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) configured to transmit the first OSC signal interleaved with the first OTDR signal on a first optical fiber and a second WDM configured to transmit the second OSC signal interleaved with the second OTDR signal on a second optical fiber.
