Abstract: An optical device may include a monolithic beam steering engine. The device may include a twin M×N wavelength selective switch (WSS) including a first M×N WSS and a second M×N WSS. The first M×N WSS may include a first panel section of the monolithic beam steering engine to perform first beam steering of first beams, wherein the first beam steering is add/drop port beam steering; and a second panel section of the monolithic beam steering engine to perform second beam steering of second beams, wherein the second beam steering is common port beam steering. The first M×N WSS may include a first optical element aligned to the monolithic beam steering engine to direct one of the first beams or the second beams relative to the other of the first beams or the second beams, such that the first beams are directed in a different direction from the second beams.

Abstract: In some implementations, an amplifier device may include a first amplifier configured to amplify signals in a first range of optical wavelengths. The first amplifier may include a first portion that includes one or more first optical gain components, and a second portion that includes one or more second optical gain components and a variable optical attenuator. The amplifier device may include a second amplifier configured to amplify signals in a second range of optical wavelengths. The amplifier device may include a filter for the first range of optical wavelengths and the second range of optical wavelengths. The filter may be located between the first portion and the second portion of the first amplifier.

Abstract: A programmable multicast switch may include a first set of optical ports and a second set of optical ports. The programmable multicast switch may include a plurality of groups of optical devices optically connected in a cascading arrangement. At least one optical device in each of the plurality of groups may be a tunable optical device. Each group may be connected to an optical port of the first set of optical ports. The programmable multicast switch may include a plurality of controllers to tune each corresponding tunable optical devices. The programmable multicast switch may include a processor to control the plurality of controllers. The programmable multicast switch may include a plurality of optical switches connected to each of the groups of optical devices. Each optical switch of the plurality of optical switches may be connected to an optical port of the second set of optical ports.

Abstract: A colorless, directionless ROADM includes a pair of contentioned add and drop wavelength-selective optical switches, an input wavelength-selective optical switch having one input port, and an output wavelength-selective optical switch having one output port. Unintended input-to-output port couplings, which appear in the “contentioned” add and drop switches, can be mitigated by the input and output wavelength-selective optical switches carrying the through traffic.

Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a switching engine, an optical signal that includes a channel. The method may include applying, by the switching engine, a first beam steering grating to direct a first portion of the channel to a first output port. The method may include applying, by the switching engine, one or more second beam steering gratings to direct at least one of a second portion of the channel to a second output port, or a third portion of the channel to a photodetector. The third portion may be approximately less, in power, than 10 percent of the channel.
