Abstract:
Methods, systems, and optical power controllers are disclosed. Various problems caused by the use of a single L0 power controller in the prior art are addressed by using first and second L0 power controllers with the first L0 power controller managing first optical components with the optical network, and the second L0 power controller managing second optical components within the optical network.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising the steps of:\n receiving, by circuitry of a software defined network L0 network controller, dependency information indicative of power control dependencies between individual optical components including optical carriers, reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer nodes, and an in-line optical amplifier of an optical transmission line between the reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer nodes in a reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer network; determining a deviation in optical channel power of a first component by the software defined network L0 network controller monitoring the control parameters at target locations within the reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer network as compared to target parameters; upon determination of the deviation, accessing the dependency information for an optical path containing the first component, and determining a starting point for optical power repairs at a location within the optical path upstream from the first component within the optical path; and configuring at least one second component within the optical path by the software defined network L0 network controller from the starting point to restore optical power within the reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer network.
