Abstract:
A passive optical network having an optical-signal monitor configured to monitor carrier-wavelength drifts during optical bursts transmitted between the optical line terminal and optical network units thereof. In an example embodiment, the optical-signal monitor uses heterodyne beating between two differently delayed portions of an optical burst to generate an estimate of the carrier-wavelength drift during that optical burst. The passive optical network may also include an electronic controller configured to use the estimates generated by the optical-signal monitor to make configuration changes at the optical network units and/or implement other control measures directed at reducing to an acceptable level the amounts of carrier-wavelength drift during the optical bursts and/or mitigating some adverse effects thereof.

Claim (Index 7):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an electronic controller configured to generate one or more control signals in response to receiving from the optical burst monitor an input signal indicative of the estimate of the carrier-wavelength drift, the one or more control signals including a control signal directed to a corresponding one of the optical transmitters.
