Abstract
In an optical communication system, an optical transmitter changes operational physical layer parameters to meet future target throughput for the optical communication system. The optical transmitter communicates the upcoming change to the optical receiver in a message that used current physical layer parameters. The optical transmitter provides sufficient time to the optical receiver to adjust reception functions of the receiver, including polarization based demodulation scheme. In some implementations, the optical transmitter performs the transition to a new physical layer transmission format without waiting for an acknowledgement from the optical receiver.
