Abstract

See full text

A system is provided to obtain loss optimized output optical power by way of feedback control and stabilization in an optical signal switching or routing system. The optical signal switching or routing system includes at least two input optical fibers and at least two output optical fibers, a controllable mechanism for directing an optical beam from one of the input optical fibers to one of the output optical fibers, and a mechanism for measuring the optical power applied to output optical fiber. The measuring mechanism provides a measure of the output optical power through a signal processing apparatus to a control apparatus. Possible other inputs to the signal processing apparatus include the input optical power, test optical power, etc. The inputs to the signal processing apparatus are compared and the signal processing apparatus outputs a signal to the control apparatus to provide optimized output power.
