Preventing optical beat interference includes dynamically managing an adjustable optical transmitter wavelength of each of a plurality of customer premises equipment, wherein each of the plurality of customer premises equipment is in bidirectional communication with a customer premises equipment controller. A bidirectional communication system includes a customer premises equipment controller; and a plurality of customer premises equipment coupled to the customer premises equipment controller, each of the plurality of customer premises equipment having an adjustable optical transmitter wavelength, wherein each of the plurality of customer premises equipment is in bidirectional communication with the customer premises equipment controller to prevent optical beat interference by dynamically managing the adjustable optical transmitter wavelength of each of the plurality of customer premises equipment.

Dynamic wavelength management using bi-directional communication for the prevention of optical beat interference

Configuring an optical point to multipoint communication network includes assigning a channel number Cby modular arithmetic to each of a plurality of N access points, each of the plurality of N access points i) including a laser and ii) coupled to a hub having a shared optical receiver; and tuning the laser located in each of the plurality of N access points to a wavelength &#x3bb;that is one of a set of M wavelengths as a function of the channel number assigned to the access point in which the laser is located, a channel spacing &#x394;&#x3bb; and an intrinsic wavelength &#x3bb;of the laser to prevent optical beat interference at the shared optical receiver.
