Abstract:
This disclosure describes devices and methods related to multiplexing optical data signals. A method may be disclosed for multiplexing one or more optical data signals. The method may comprise receiving, by a dense wave division multiplexer (DWDM), one or more optical data signals. The method may comprise combining, by the DWDM, the one or more optical data signals. The method may comprise outputting, by the DWDM, the combined one or more optical data signals to one or more wave division multiplexer (WDM). The method may comprise combining, by the one or more WDM, the combined one or more optical data signals and one or more second optical data signals, and outputting an egress optical data signal comprising the combined one or more optical data signals and one or more second optical data signals.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical communication module link extender comprising:\n a Dense Wave Division Multiplexer (DWDM) that is configured to receive one or more optical data signals from a network, combine the one or more optical data signals, and output the combined one or more optical data signals, a first Wave Division Multiplexer (WDM) communicatively coupled to the DWDM the first WDM is configured to receive the combined one or more optical data signals from the DWDM and output the combined one or more optical data signals, a booster optical amplifier communicatively coupled to the first WDM, the booster optical amplifier configured to amplify the combined one or more optical data signals and output a first optical data signal, a second WDM communicatively coupled to the booster optical amplifier, the second WDM is configured to receive the amplified first optical data signal and output the amplified first optical data signal, a variable optical amplifier (VOA) communicatively coupled to the second WDM, the VOA is configured to receive the amplified first optical data signal, adjust the power of the amplified first optical data signal to a first level, and output a second optical data signal, a third WDM communicatively coupled to the VOA, the third WDM is configured to combine the second optical data signal and one or more third signals, and output an egress optical data signal to the optical switch, and an optical switch communicatively coupled to the third WDM, the optical switch is configured to output the egress optical data signal on a primary fiber.
