Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments described herein relate to methods and apparatus for autotuning an optical system. There is provided a method including transmitting an optical signal on a first transmitter of an optical transmission unit at a predetermined wavelength, and determining whether the predetermined wavelength corresponds with an operational wavelength associated with an input port of an optical multiplexing unit to which the first transmitter is coupled. The determination is dependent on detection of a non-optical fault signal from the optical multiplexing unit.
