    • A scalable, reconfigurable, and cost-effective add/drop arrangement is provided which enables a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system to be upgraded to accommodate new or changing add/drop requirements without disruptions in existing service. The add/drop arrangement is based on a modular architecture wherein one or more modular optical routing devices are coupled in an optical fiber path to facilitate the selective adding/dropping of individual optical channels and to facilitate in-service upgrades without disrupting existing transmissions in the optical fiber path. In an exemplary embodiment, at least two directional optical transfer devices, such as optical circulators, are coupled to a drop path for dropping optical channels from the WDM signal, an add path for receiving optical channels to be added to the WDM signal, and a common path between the directional optical transfer devices. In the common path, at least one optical routing module is employed which is capable of receiving the WDM signal at an input and routing or otherwise switching the WDM signal to outputs, each of which can be coupled to one or more wavlength-selective modules. Each wavelength-selective module can be configured with an arrangement of optical filters, such as fiber gratings, and optical switches to facilitate the selective adding and dropping of one or more individual optical channels. Importantly, the optical routing module includes additional outputs for coupling to additional optical routing modules, additional wavelength-selective modules, and other components in order to accommodate changing add/drop requirements, which is an anticipated characteristic especially of metropolitan optical networks.

    • Automatic reduction of optical signal power supplied by an upstream network element by a prescribed amount is achieved by capturing and processing reflected optical energy that is generated within the optical fiber path as a result of a downstream fiber cut, open connector, or other potentially hazardous discontinuity. Generally, the power level of the reflected optical signal is detected and measured in the optical fiber path and the optical signal power supplied by the upstream network element is automatically reduced. The optical signal power may either be reduced by an amount corresponding to the measured reflected optical signal power or may be completely shut off until the faulty condition is resolved. In one illustrative embodiment, an apparatus for automatically reducing or shutting off the optical signal power supplied by an upstream network element includes a directional optical transfer device disposed along the optical fiber path and coupled to the output of a network element, an optical power monitor for measuring the reflected optical energy received via the directional optical coupler as a result of a downstream fiber discontinuity, and control circuitry coupled between the power monitor and the network element to control the optical signal power being supplied by the network element based on the monitored power level of the reflected optical signal. The control circuitry may be analog, digital, or may be implemented using a microprocessor operating under software or firmware program control.

    • A novel concentrator system is described, which increases the efficiency of collecting sunlight energy and concentrates it on a target. This method uses an array of small movable reflective or refractive concentrator components that can move via a feedback mechanism which tracks the sun and concentrates the suns energy on to a second array of energy converting elements. In order to improve the effective collected energy, the array of concentrator elements is placed on a moving or tiltable flat slab (or dish, substrate, plane, plate, holder, tablet, or similar flat or non-flat surface) that tracks the sun. An alternative method uses an array of target elements or linear elements and a second array of concentrator elements in harmony such that and suns energy is efficiently redistributed by the reflective/reactive array on to the energy converting array as the sun's position in the sky (elevation and azimuth) changes. The elements of the reflective/refractive array are tilted by novel actuation mechanisms describe herein.
