Abstract
A system comprising a generator and a receiver. The generator can be coupled to an optical network. The generator can be configured to generate a plurality of wavelengths of light. The plurality of wavelengths of light can be continuously cycled. The plurality of wavelengths of light can be modulated to encode information onto the plurality of wavelengths of light. The plurality of wavelengths of light can be multiplexed into a multiplexed light signal. The multiplexed light signal can be provided to a first wavelength division multiplexer of the optical network. The receiver can be coupled to the generator and the optical network. The receiver can be configured to receive a demultiplexed wavelength of light from a second wavelength division multiplexer of the optical network. The demultiplexed wavelength of light can be demodulated to decode information encoded onto the demultiplexed wavelength of light. Optical power of the demultiplexed wavelength of light can be measured. The decoded information and the optical power can be provided for display through an interface.
