Abstract:
An optical network element for a hardware configured optical network includes a first optical port that receives an input optical signal comprising receive control information from the hardware configured optical network. A demodulator optically coupled to the first optical port decodes the receive control information for configuring the optical network element. A modulator having an electrical modulation input that receives transmit control information imparts a modulation onto an optical carrier thereby generating a transmit optical control signal representing the transmit control information. A second optical port transmits the transmit optical control signal representing the transmit control information to the hardware configured optical network.

Claim (Index 55):
The optical network element of  claim 52  further comprising a second modulator having an input that is optically coupled to the output of the tunable laser and an output coupled to the input of the modulator, wherein the second modulator is configured to impart the client data traffic on the optical signal.
