Optical Network Automation refers to the use of software and intelligent systems to automatically manage, configure, monitor, and optimize optical networks. This reduces the need for manual intervention and enhances network performance, scalability, and reliability.
We report the first field verification of fault localization in an optical line system (OLS) by integrating digital longitudinal monitoring and OLS calibration, highlighting changes in physical metrics and parameters. Use cases shown are degradation of a fiber span loss and optical amplifier noise figure.
