Abstract
A combination and method for centralized distribution of laser carrier beams to collocated wavelength division multiplexing systems divide and couple the optical carrier beam from high power laser sources to each of more than one collocated system. The carrier beam is then modulated by modulators in transponders residing in each wavelength division multiplexing system. Each modulated signal is then combined by a wavelength division multiplexer for transmittal onto an output fiber.
