Identifying and monitoring connections in optical system

Techniques for identifying and monitoring connections in an optical system are provided. The plurality of optical ports are configured to receive a plurality of optical links coupled with one or more remote optical devices. The at least one light source generates an identification (ID) signal. The at least one optical element is configured to direct an ID signal through the plurality of optical links to a transmission path from the source optical device to the remote optical device. The remote optical device includes one or more optical elements that direct the ID signal through the set of WDM filters and return the ID signal. The at least one optical element directs the returned ID signal to the optical channel monitor. At least one microprocessor is configured to execute control instructions to generate the ID signal and process one or more outputs of the optical channel monitor in response to a returned ID signal to identify the plurality of optical links. 提供了用于识别和监测光学系统中的连接的技术。多个光端口被配置为接收与一个或多个远程光学装置耦接的多个
