Abstract
Systems and methods of sharing optical spectrum between a plurality of users of a submarine optical system includes receiving one or more optical signals from the plurality of users of the submarine optical system, wherein each of the plurality of users are assigned a slice of optical spectrum on the submarine optical system; monitoring each of the one or more optical signals to determine compliance with one or more constraints; and adding the one or more optical signals to the submarine optical system if compliant with the one or more constraints.
