Fast link control protection for surviving channels in multiwavelength optical networks

Link control, a new technique for protecting surviving channels from fast power transients resulting from network reconfigurations or line failures, is demonstrated in a 570 km, eight amplifier wavelength division multiplexed link carrying seven 2.5 Gb/s channels plus the link control channel.
