Abstract

See full text

The disclosed systems and methods support addition of bands to a multi-band optical interface. The systems and methods can include a multi-band interface device for optical networks. The device can include a multi-band optical amplifier, a C-Band Add/Drop multiplexer, an L-Band Add/Drop multiplexer and an amplifier noise source. The multi-band optical amplifier can be connected to the C-Band Add/Drop multiplexer and connected to the L-Band Add/Drop multiplexer through the amplifier noise source. The amplifier noise source be configured to generate a combination of bulk noise and an input transmission received from the L-Band Add/Drop multiplexer. The gain of the amplifier noise source can depend on the power of the received input transmission. The power of the received input transmission can be increased over a period of time, transitioning the amplifier noise source from acting as a bulk noise source to acting an amplifier.
