Abstract

An optical system may include optical transmitters to provide respective optical signals. Each of the respective optical signals may provide one or more carriers in an optical channel. The optical channel may include multiple carriers associated with the respective optical signals. First and second carriers, of the multiple carriers, may have a particular carrier space width. The particular carrier space width may include a frequency error associated with one or more optical signals of the respective optical signals. The optical system may include a control system to determine the frequency error and cause one or more of the optical transmitters to adjust the particular carrier space width based on the adjusted frequency error.
