Abstract:
A carrier office includes an optical line terminal, a first transmit-erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), and a second transmit-EDFA. The OLT is configured to transmit first and second optical signals. The first transmit-EDFA is optically coupled to the OLT and a first feeder fiber, and the first feeder fiber is optically coupled to a first remote node (RN). The first transmit-EDFA is operable between a respective enabled state and a respective disabled state. The second transmit-EDFA is optically coupled to the OLT and a second feeder fiber, and the second feeder fiber is optically coupled to a second RN. The second transmit-EDFA is operable between a respective enabled state and a respective disabled state.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical network comprising:\n a first carrier office (CO) configured to transmit a first optical signal; a second CO configured to transmit a second optical signal, the second optical signal being the same as the first optical signal; a first feeder fiber optically coupled to the first CO; a second feeder fiber optically coupled to the second CO; a remote node (RN) optically coupled to the first feeder fiber and the second feeder fiber; and a controller in communication with the first and second COs, the controller configured to perform operations comprising:\n instructing the first CO to transmit the first optical signal to the RN along the first feeder fiber; \n determining whether the RN receives the first optical signal; and \n when the RN fails to receive the first optical signal, instructing the second CO to transmit the second optical signal to the RN along the second feeder fiber.
