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 16):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein the optical network includes a reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer having a demultiplexer receiving optical signals from a first communication link, and a multiplexer providing optical signals onto a second communication link, and wherein the optical network includes an in-line optical amplifier, and wherein the external network to network interface optically connects the multiplexer of the reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer to the in-line optical amplifier, and wherein the multiplexer of the reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer is one of the first optical components, and the in-line optical amplifier is one of the second optical components.
