Power Excursion Mitigation for Flexgrid Defragmentation With Machine Learning
Flexgrid optical networking relies on spectrum defragmentation to groom channel wavelengths and improve spectral efficiency. Various defragmentation methods—hop, make-before-break, and sweep—interact with the power dynamics of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) differently and result in undesired power excursions that exacerbate the post-EDFA power variance. Here we present a machine learning engine that characterizes the channel dependence of power excursions from historical data. We further demonstrate that post-EDFA power variance during hop, make-before-break, and sweep defragmentation methods can be greatly mitigated by the trained machine learning engine with automated and expedited power adjustment predictions.
