Abstract:
In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a first optical transceiver. The first optical transceiver includes a set of optical transmitters, an optical multiplexer operatively coupled to the set of optical transmitters, and a variable optical attenuator operatively coupled to the optical multiplexer. The variable optical attenuator is configured to receive a control signal from a controller of the first optical transceiver and modulate a signal representing control information with an output from the optical multiplexer. The control information is associated with the control signal and for a second optical transceiver operatively coupled to the first optical transceiver.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein:\n the modulated optical signal is a first modulated optical signal, the control signal is a first control signal, the control information is first control information, the remote optical transceiver is a first remote optical transceiver, the apparatus further includes an optical tap configured to receive a portion of a second modulated optical signal from a second remote optical transceiver, the processor is configured to decode the portion of the second modulated optical signal to receive second control information associated with the second remote optical transceiver.
