Essentially, all you're looking for is a 1+1 optical splitter on transmit and photonic switch on receive. Many vendors make this, including from cheap sources[1] to optical protection cards from big vendors[2]. I'd also recommend Huhber+Suhner (Cube Optics) - these guys can customize optical line protection package, we use them ourselves.
