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 12):
The apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n a plurality of optical transmitters including the optical transmitter, each optical transmitter from the plurality of optical transmitters configured to transmit an optical signal associated with that optical transmitter and from a plurality of optical signals, each optical signal from the plurality of optical signals being multiplexed to collectively produce a multiplexed optical signal, the VOA configured to modulate the multiplexed optical signal with the control information to produce a modulated multiplexed optical signal, the VOA configured to send the modulated multiplexed optical signal to the remote optical transceiver causing the remote optical transceiver to control the remote optical transceiver based on the control information.
