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 11):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a processor configured to generate a control signal having control information to control a remote optical transceiver, and an optical transmitter operatively coupled to the processor, the optical transmitter configured to transmit an optical signal, a variable optical attenuator (VOA) operatively coupled to the processor and the optical transmitter,\n the VOA configured to receive the control signal from the processor, \n the VOA configured to modulate the optical signal with the control signal to produce a modulated optical signal, \n the VOA configured to send the modulated optical signal to the remote optical transceiver causing the remote optical transceiver to control the remote optical transceiver based on the control information.
