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 1):
A method, comprising:\n generating, at a controller of a first optical transceiver, a control signal having control information; modulating an optical signal output from an optical transmitter of the first optical transceiver with an electrical signal having the control information to produce a plurality of modulated optical signals; sending, from the first optical transceiver, the plurality of modulated optical signals to a second optical transceiver causing the second optical transceiver to configure the second optical transceiver based on the control information.
