Abstract:

A method and system for emulating the optical behavior of an optical communications generates wavelength modeled objects for each emulated optical signal and a variety of other modeled objects for the optical communications modules of the emulated system such as transmitter modeled objects, a combiner modeled object, an amplifier modeled object, a splitter modeled object, and receiver modeled objects. Each of the modeled objects includes certain optical attributes and a behavior modeling function particular to the module being emulated. The optical modules themselves are also represented as emulated processes. The modeled objects are propagated along a logical path from emulated process to emulated process. Upon receipt of a modeled object the emulated process executes the behavior modeling function and updates modeling objects affected by the execution. The propagation of modeled objects and execution of behavior modeling functions in this fashion results in a cascade of optical property changes across the emulated system.
