ABSTRACT:
Techniques and systems for monitoring of optical signals are described. Each of a plurality of optical signals is supplied to an optical port. A port signal is generated based on each of the optical signals and each of the port signals is subjected to a time delay to create a time delayed signal, with a different time delay being present in each of the time delayed signals. The time delayed signals are multiplexed to create a multiplexed signal comprising a plurality of multiplexed signal components, each component corresponding to one of the time delayed signals and exhibiting a time delay characterizing the corresponding time delayed signal. A desired one or ones of the multiplexed signal components are selected by analysis or display by specifying a time delay present in the time delayed signal represented by the desired component, and selecting a signal component exhibiting the specified time delay.
