Abstract:
An optical system supporting timing synchronization, alignment and deskewing across optical modules includes a plurality of optical devices each providing an Optical Tributary Signal (OTSi) which are part of an Optical Tributary Signal Group (OTSiG); and a management communication mechanism between the plurality of optical devices, wherein each of the plurality of optical devices are timing synchronized using the management communication mechanism and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) messaging. Each of the plurality of optical devices can include delay circuitry configured to deskew an associated OTSi with respect to other OTSi signals in the OTSiG.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical system supporting timing synchronization and alignment or deskewing across optical modules, the optical system comprising:\n a plurality of optical devices each providing an Optical Tributary Signal (OTSi) which is part of an Optical Tributary Signal Group (OTSiG); and a management communication mechanism between the plurality of optical devices, wherein the management communication mechanism is Ethernet over one of a standards-based interface based on a Multi Source Agreement (MSA) or Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) Digital Coherent Optics (DCO), a backplane interface, and an external interface connected via cables, wherein each of the plurality of optical devices are timing synchronized using the management communication mechanism and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) messaging.
