1. A management, monitor and control system to monitor transmitting and receiving devices including wavelength-multiplexed subranging electro-optic modulators (SEOM), comprising:
one or more transmitting devices, the one or more transmitting devices including one or more laser devices, one or more subranging electro-optic modulators and/or one or more voltage bias generators to generate and transmit one or more multiplexed modulated optical signals;
one or more optical communication links to receive and pass through the one or more multiplexed modulated optical signals;
one or more receiving devices, the one or more receiving devices to receive the one or more multiplexed modulated optical signals and to generate one or more final optical signals, the one or more receiving devices including one or more photodetectors, one or more analog-to-digital converters, one or more thresholding modules and/or one or more splicing modules;
a cloud or local server computing device to manage, monitor or control the management, monitor and control system, the cloud or local server computing device including one or more processors or controllers, one or more memory devices, and computer-readable instructions stored on the one or more memory devices, the computer-readable instructions executable by the one or more processors or controllers to receive commands, signals or instructions identifying operational parameters, status parameters and/or measurements from the one or more transmitting devices, the one or more optical communication links, and/or the one or receiving devices, the computer-readable instructions of the cloud or local server computing device executable by the one or more processors to: analyze the received operational parameters, status parameters and/or measurements from the one or more transmitting devices, the one or more optical communication links and/or the one or more receiving devices and to determine if the received operational parameters and measurements are within an acceptable range or to determine if the received status parameters are acceptable values; and if the received operational parameters and measurements are not within an acceptable range or if the received status parameters are not acceptable values, to generate and communicate messages, instructions and/or commands via a communication network to the one or more transmitting devices and/or the one or more receiving devices to adjust, activate or deactivate components or subsystems of the one or more transmitting devices and/or the one or more receiving devices, wherein the operational parameters, status parameters and/or measurements of the one or more receiving devices including temperatures of the one or more photodetectors, one or more analog-to-digital converters, one or more thresholding modules and one or more splicing modules; and
one or more data storage devices, the one or more data storage devices of the cloud or local server computing device to include a SEOM transmitting device and receiving device topology database, SEOM system management computer-readable instructions and a machine learning module, the SEOM transmitting device and receiving device topology database including device information, parameters, operating conditions, location, and/or performance statistics for the one or more transmitting devices, the one or more optical communication links and/or the one or more receiving devices under control or in an area of the cloud or local server computing device.
