Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device including a detector configured to identify a narrow-band absorption occurring within a signal spectrum of an optical signal propagating through a gaseous medium, wherein the optical signal is configured to communicate digital information via an optical communication link including a transmitter, a receiver and an optical transport medium therebetween. The device further includes a mitigation controller configured to control a digital circuit to mitigate at least a portion of a vulnerability of the optical communication link, the vulnerability associated with the narrow-band absorption. Other embodiments are disclosed.
