Quarterly Financial Data [Abstract] | |
Interim Financial Statements | INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The interim financial statements included herein for Ciena Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Ciena”) have been prepared by Ciena, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In the opinion of management, the financial statements included in this report reflect all normal recurring adjustments that Ciena considers necessary for the fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods covered and of the financial position of Ciena at the date of the interim balance sheets. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2017 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. However, Ciena believes that the disclosures are adequate to understand the information presented herein. The operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Ciena’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Ciena’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017 . Ciena has a 52 or 53-week fiscal year, with quarters ending on the Saturday nearest to the last day of January, April, July and October, respectively, of each year. Fiscal 2018 is a 53-week fiscal year with the additional week occurring in the fourth quarter. Fiscal 2017 was a 52-week fiscal year. For purposes of financial statement presentation, each fiscal year is described as having ended on October 31, and the fiscal quarters are described as having ended on January 31, April 30 and July 31 of each fiscal year. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Except for the changes in certain policies described below, there have been no material changes to Ciena's significant accounting policies, compared to the accounting policies described in Note 1, Ciena Corporation and Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of Part II of Ciena's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. Government Grants Ciena accounts for proceeds from government grants as a reduction of expense when there is reasonable assurance that Ciena has complied with the conditions attached to the grant and that grant proceeds will be received. Grant benefits are recorded to the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to which the grant activity relates. See Note 17 below. Newly Issued Accounting Standards - Effective In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-01 ("ASU 2017-01") , Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition or disposal of assets or businesses. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. Ciena will evaluate the effect of the update at the time of any future acquisition or disposal. Ciena adopted ASU 2017-01 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 ("ASU 2017-12") , Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. Ciena adopted ASU 2017-12 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. For hedges for which Ciena has elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from assessment of effectiveness, Ciena has elected to amortize the difference on a straight-line basis. Ciena will record amortization in earnings each period with an offsetting entry to other comprehensive income, and all changes in fair value over the term of the derivative in other comprehensive income. The application of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on Ciena's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09") , Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which provides guidance on several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification on the statement of cash flows. Ciena adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, Ciena recognized approximately $62.1 million of deferred tax assets related to previously unrecognized tax benefits. This was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Additionally, the consolidated statements of cash flows will include excess tax benefits as an operating activity, on a prospective basis as a result of the adoption. Finally, Ciena has elected to recognize forfeitures when they occur, rather than to estimate the impact of forfeitures when the award is granted. Accordingly, Ciena recognized approximately $0.8 million for this change through a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Newly Issued Accounting Standards - Not Yet Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts . For multiple element software arrangements where vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of undelivered maintenance does not exist, Ciena currently recognizes revenue for the entire arrangement over the maintenance term. Ciena expects that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will require that it determine the stand alone selling price for each of the software and software-related deliverables at contract inception, and Ciena consequently expects certain software deliverables will be recognized at a point in time rather than over a period of time. Ciena also expects certain installation and deployment, and consulting and network design services, will be recognized over a period of time rather than at a point in time. Ciena has considered the impact of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs; Contracts with Customers , and the interpretations of the FASB Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition (TRG) with respect to capitalization and amortization of incremental costs of obtaining a contract. In conjunction with this interpretation, Ciena has elected to implement the practical expedient clause allowing for incremental costs to be recognized as an expense when incurred if the period of the asset recognition is one year or less, and amortized over the period of performance, if the period of the asset recognition is greater than one year. Ciena expects to implement ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative effect at adoption will be presented as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for Ciena beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Ciena is continuing to evaluate other possible impacts of the adoption of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02") , Leases , which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and to provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for Ciena beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Under current GAAP, the majority of Ciena’s leases for its properties are considered operating leases, and Ciena expects that the adoption of this ASU will require these leases to be classified as financing leases and to be recognized as assets and liabilities on Ciena’s balance sheet. Ciena is continuing to evaluate other possible impacts of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. |

Ciena recorded $4.8 million and $1.1 million in foreign currency exchange rate losses during the first six months of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , respectively, as a result of monetary assets and liabilities that were transacted in a currency other than the entity's functional currency, and the remeasurement adjustments were recorded in interest and other income (loss), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. From time to time, Ciena uses foreign currency forwards to hedge these balance sheet exposures. These forwards are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes, and any net gain or loss associated with these derivatives is reported in interest and other income (loss), net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first six months of fiscal 2018 , Ciena recorded gains of $2.2 million from non-hedge designated foreign currency forward contracts. During the first six months of fiscal 2017 , Ciena recorded losses of $1.7 million from non-hedge designated foreign currency forward contracts. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted. The Tax Act significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the statutory corporate income tax rate (“federal tax rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, implementing a modified territorial tax system, and imposing a mandatory one-time transition tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred. As a fiscal-year taxpayer, certain provisions of the Tax Act impact Ciena in fiscal 2018, including the change in the federal tax rate and the one-time transition tax, while other provisions will be effective at the beginning of fiscal 2019, including the implementation of a modified territorial tax system, other changes to how foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax, and adoption of an alternative tax system. As a result of the decrease in the federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, Ciena has computed its income tax expense for the October 31, 2018 fiscal year using a blended federal tax rate of 23.4% . The 21% federal tax rate is expected to apply to Ciena’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2019 and each year thereafter. Ciena remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities ("DTA") using the federal tax rate that will apply when the related temporary differences are expected to reverse. During the six months ended April 30, 2018 , Ciena recorded a provisional tax expense of $484.4 million , primarily related to the Tax Act and consisted of the following: a $431.3 million charge related to the remeasurement of U.S. net deferred tax assets at the lower statutory rate under the Tax Act and a $45.6 million charge related to a transition tax on accumulated historical foreign earnings and its deemed repatriation to the U.S. In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which addresses how a company recognizes provisional amounts when it does not have the necessary information available, prepared or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete its accounting for the effect of the changes due to the Tax Act. The measurement period ends when a company has obtained, prepared and analyzed the information necessary to finalize its accounting, but cannot extend beyond one year. The final impact of the Tax Act may differ from the above provisional amounts due to changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, legislative action to address questions that arise because of the Tax Act, changes in accounting standards for income taxes and related interpretations in response to the Tax Act, and any updates or changes to estimates used in the provisional amounts. Ciena has determined that the $45.6 million of tax expense for the U.S. transition tax on accumulated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and the $431.3 million of tax expense for DTA remeasurement were each provisional amounts and reasonable estimates as of April 30, 2018 . Estimates used in the provisional amounts include the anticipated reversal pattern of the gross DTA plus the earnings and profits, cash position at the end of fiscal year 2018, foreign taxes and withholding taxes attributable to foreign subsidiaries. Ciena currently intends to reinvest indefinitely its foreign earnings outside the U.S. However, Ciena intends to further study changes enacted by the Tax Act, costs of repatriation and the current and future cash needs of foreign operations to determine whether there is an opportunity to repatriate these earnings in the future on a tax-efficient basis. If Ciena determines to repatriate these earnings, the provisional amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liability related to these foreign withholding taxes would be approximately $24.0 million . There are no other significant temporary differences for which a deferred tax liability has not been recognized. The significant components of DTA are as follows (in thousands): April 30, October 31, 2018 2017 Deferred tax assets: Reserves and accrued liabilities $ 36,115 $ 56,597 Depreciation and amortization 288,145 451,385 NOL and credit carry forward 538,869 803,622 Other 18,706 29,398 Gross deferred tax assets 881,835 1,341,002 Valuation allowance (147,011 ) (185,898 ) Deferred tax asset, net of valuation allowance $ 734,824 $ 1,155,104 In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Ciena recognized approximately $62.1 million of deferred tax assets related to previously unrecognized tax benefits. This was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. See Note 2 above and Note 14 below. As of April 30, 2018 , Ciena continues to maintain a valuation allowance of $147.0 million . This valuation allowance is primarily related to state and foreign net operating losses and credits that Ciena estimates it will not be able to use. |

During the first six months of fiscal 2018 , Ciena recorded a provision for excess and obsolescence of $15.0 million , primarily related to a decrease in the forecasted demand for certain Networking Platforms products. Deductions from the provision for excess and obsolete inventory relate primarily to disposal activities. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instruments | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS Foreign Currency Derivatives As of April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017 , Ciena had forward contracts to hedge its foreign exchange exposure in order to reduce the variability in its Canadian Dollar and Indian Rupee denominated expense, which principally relates to research and development activities, and its Euro denominated revenue. The notional amount of these contracts was approximately $114.2 million and $86.1 million as of April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017 , respectively. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities of 12 months or less and have been designated as cash flow hedges. During the first six months of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 , in order to hedge certain balance sheet exposures, Ciena entered into forward contracts to mitigate risk due to volatility in the Brazilian Real, Canadian Dollar and Mexican Peso. The notional amount of these contracts was approximately $92.5 million and $83.4 million as of April 30, 2018 and October 31, 2017 , respectively. These foreign exchange contracts have maturities of 12 months or less and have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Interest Rate Derivatives Ciena is exposed to floating rates of LIBOR interest on its term loan borrowings (see Note 12 below) and has hedged such risk by entering into floating to fixed interest rate swap arrangements ("interest rate swaps"). The interest rate swaps fix 98% , 82% , and 77% of the principal value of the 2022 Term Loan from February 2017 through July 2018, July 2018 through June 2020, and June 2020 through January 2021, respectively. The fixed rate on the amounts hedged during these periods will be 4.25% , 4.25% and 4.75% , respectively. The total notional amount of these interest rate swaps in effect as of April 30, 2018 was $387.6 million . The total notional amount of these interest rate swaps in effect as of October 31, 2017 was $389.6 million . Ciena expects the variable rate payments to be received under the terms of the interest rate swaps to offset exactly the forecasted variable rate payments on the equivalent notional amounts of the term loans. These derivative contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges. Other information regarding Ciena's derivatives is immaterial for separate financial statement presentation.

Earnings Per Share Calculation | EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATION The following table (in thousands except per share amounts) is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) and the diluted net income (loss) per potential common share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of the following, in each case, to the extent the effect is not anti-dilutive: (i) common shares outstanding; (ii) shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units; (iii) shares issuable under Ciena’s employee stock purchase plan and upon exercise of outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method; (iv) shares underlying Ciena’s outstanding convertible notes for which Ciena uses the treasury stock method (the New Notes); and (v) shares underlying Ciena’s outstanding convertible notes for which Ciena uses the if-converted method.

(2) Upon any conversion of the outstanding 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 ("New Notes"), Ciena intends to settle the principal amount thereof in cash. Accordingly, Ciena uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The 14.3 million shares underlying the New Notes will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share of common stock when the average market price of Ciena common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $ 20.17 per share for the New Notes. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , the average market price of Ciena common stock was $ 24.76 . As a result, for the quarter ended April 30 , 2018 , the conversion spread for the New Notes is 2.7 million shares and included in the calculation of the denominator. For the six months ended April 30, 2018 , the conversion spread for the New Notes is 1.7 million shares; however, these shares were excluded from the calculation of the denominator as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity | STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Adoption of ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-09, Ciena recognized approximately $62.1 million of deferred tax assets related to previously unrecognized tax benefits. This was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Ciena also elected to recognize forfeitures of stock awards when they occur, rather than estimate the impact of forfeitures when the award is granted. Accordingly, Ciena recognized approximately $0.8 million for this change through a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings in the period of adoption. Stock Repurchase Program On December 7, 2017, Ciena announced that its Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $300 million of Ciena’s common stock through the end of fiscal 2020. Ciena may purchase shares at management’s discretion in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, in transactions structured through investment banking institutions, or a combination of the foregoing. Ciena may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. The amount and timing of repurchases are subject to a variety of factors, including liquidity, cash flow, stock price, and general business and market conditions. The program may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time. A summary of the stock repurchase program, reported based on trade date, is summarized as follows: Shares Repurchased Weighted-Average Price per Share Amount Repurchased (in thousands) Cumulative balance at October 31, 2017 — $ — $ — Repurchase of common stock under the stock repurchase program 1,627,233 24.06 39,147 Cumulative balance at April 30, 2018 1,627,233 $ 24.06 $ 39,147 The purchase price for the shares of Ciena's stock repurchased is reflected as a reduction to stockholders' equity. Ciena is required to allocate the purchase price of the repurchased shares as a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Canadian Grant During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Ciena entered into agreements related to the Evolution of Networking Services through a Corridor in Quebec and Ontario for Research and Innovation ("ENCQOR") project with the Canadian federal government, the government of the province of Ontario and the government of the province of Quebec to develop a 5G technology corridor between Quebec and Ontario to promote research and development, small business enterprises and entrepreneurs in Canada. Under these agreements, Ciena can receive up to an aggregate CAD$ 57.6 million (approximately $45.0 million ) in reimbursement by the three Canadian government entities for eligible costs over a period commencing on February 20, 2017 and ending on March 31, 2022. Ciena anticipates receiving recurring disbursements over this period. Amounts received under the agreements are subject to recoupment in the event that Ciena fails to achieve certain minimum investment, employment and project milestones. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, Ciena recorded a CAD $10.3 million (approximately $8.1 million ) benefit as a reduction in research and development expense, related to eligible costs that it incurred from the commencement date of February 20, 2017 to April 30, 2018, because it believes it has complied with the conditions of the agreements entitling it to this amount. In future periods, through the term of these agreements, Ciena expects to record a quarterly benefit to operating expense of approximately CAD$ 2.95 million (approximately $2.3 million ) related to these grants. Foreign Tax Contingencies Ciena is subject to various tax liabilities arising in the ordinary course of business. Ciena does not expect that the ultimate settlement of these tax liabilities will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation As a result of the acquisition of Cyan in August 2015, Ciena became a defendant in a securities class action lawsuit. On April 1, 2014, a purported stockholder class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, against Cyan, the members of Cyan’s board of directors, Cyan’s former Chief Financial Officer, and the underwriters of Cyan’s initial public offering. On April 30, 2014, a substantially similar lawsuit was filed in the same court against the same defendants. The two cases were consolidated as Beaver County Employees Retirement Fund, et al. v. Cyan, Inc. et al., Case No. CGC-14-538355. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of federal securities laws on behalf of a purported class consisting of purchasers of Cyan’s common stock pursuant or traceable to the registration statement and prospectus for Cyan’s initial public offering in April 2013, and seeks unspecified compensatory damages and other relief. On May 19, 2015, the proposed class was certified. On August 25, 2015, the defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings based on an alleged lack of subject matter jurisdiction over the case, which motion was denied on October 23, 2015. On May 24, 2016, the defendants filed a petition for a writ of certiorari on the jurisdiction issue with the U.S. Supreme Court, which petition was granted on June 27, 2017. The matter was stayed by the Superior Court pending the outcome of the Supreme Court’s decision. On March 20, 2018, the Supreme Court held that the Superior Court had subject matter jurisdiction over the case. A case management conference is scheduled before the Superior Court during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. Ciena believes that the consolidated lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously. Internal Investigations During fiscal 2017, one of Ciena’s third-party vendors raised allegations about certain questionable payments to one or more individuals employed by a customer in a country in the ASEAN region. Ciena promptly initiated an internal investigation into the matter, with the assistance of outside counsel, which investigation corroborated direct and indirect payments to one such individual and sought to determine whether the payments may have violated applicable laws and regulations, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”). In September 2017, Ciena voluntarily contacted the SEC and the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) to advise them of the relevant events and the findings of Ciena’s internal investigation. With the direct oversight of Ciena's Board of Directors, Ciena continues to cooperate fully with the SEC and DOJ in their review of the investigation. Ciena’s operations in the relevant country have constituted less than 1.5% of consolidated revenues as reported by Ciena in each fiscal year since 2012. Ciena does not currently anticipate that this matter will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. However, as discussions with the SEC and DOJ are ongoing, the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be predicted at this time. As of the filing of this Report, no provision with respect to this matter has been made in Ciena’s consolidated financial statements. Any determination that Ciena’s operations or activities are not in compliance with the FCPA or other applicable laws or regulations could result in the imposition of fines, civil and criminal penalties, and equitable remedies, including disgorgement or injunctive relief. In addition to the matters described in “Litigation” and “Internal Investigations” above, Ciena is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including those that relate to employment, commercial, tax and other regulatory matters. Ciena is also subject to intellectual property related claims, including claims against third parties that may involve contractual indemnification obligations on the part of Ciena. Ciena does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve such matters will have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. |

Government Grants | Government Grants Ciena accounts for proceeds from government grants as a reduction of expense when there is reasonable assurance that Ciena has complied with the conditions attached to the grant and that grant proceeds will be received. Grant benefits are recorded to the line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to which the grant activity relates. |
Newly Issued Accounting Standards - Effective and Not Yet Effective | Newly Issued Accounting Standards - Effective In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-01 ("ASU 2017-01") , Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business , which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisition or disposal of assets or businesses. The amendments in this update provide a screen to determine when a set of assets is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets is not a business. Ciena will evaluate the effect of the update at the time of any future acquisition or disposal. Ciena adopted ASU 2017-01 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 ("ASU 2017-12") , Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities , which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity's risk management activities in its financial statements and make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this update better align an entity's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and presentation of hedge results. Ciena adopted ASU 2017-12 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. For hedges for which Ciena has elected to exclude the spot-forward difference from assessment of effectiveness, Ciena has elected to amortize the difference on a straight-line basis. Ciena will record amortization in earnings each period with an offsetting entry to other comprehensive income, and all changes in fair value over the term of the derivative in other comprehensive income. The application of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on Ciena's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09") , Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which provides guidance on several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification on the statement of cash flows. Ciena adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, Ciena recognized approximately $62.1 million of deferred tax assets related to previously unrecognized tax benefits. This was recorded as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Additionally, the consolidated statements of cash flows will include excess tax benefits as an operating activity, on a prospective basis as a result of the adoption. Finally, Ciena has elected to recognize forfeitures when they occur, rather than to estimate the impact of forfeitures when the award is granted. Accordingly, Ciena recognized approximately $0.8 million for this change through a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to opening retained earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Newly Issued Accounting Standards - Not Yet Effective In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09") , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition , and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts . For multiple element software arrangements where vendor-specific objective evidence ("VSOE") of undelivered maintenance does not exist, Ciena currently recognizes revenue for the entire arrangement over the maintenance term. Ciena expects that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will require that it determine the stand alone selling price for each of the software and software-related deliverables at contract inception, and Ciena consequently expects certain software deliverables will be recognized at a point in time rather than over a period of time. Ciena also expects certain installation and deployment, and consulting and network design services, will be recognized over a period of time rather than at a point in time. Ciena has considered the impact of the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs; Contracts with Customers , and the interpretations of the FASB Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition (TRG) with respect to capitalization and amortization of incremental costs of obtaining a contract. In conjunction with this interpretation, Ciena has elected to implement the practical expedient clause allowing for incremental costs to be recognized as an expense when incurred if the period of the asset recognition is one year or less, and amortized over the period of performance, if the period of the asset recognition is greater than one year. Ciena expects to implement ASU 2014-09 using the modified retrospective approach whereby the cumulative effect at adoption will be presented as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information will not be restated and will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for Ciena beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Ciena is continuing to evaluate other possible impacts of the adoption of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02") , Leases , which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by leased assets and to provide additional disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for Ciena beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Under current GAAP, the majority of Ciena’s leases for its properties are considered operating leases, and Ciena expects that the adoption of this ASU will require these leases to be classified as financing leases and to be recognized as assets and liabilities on Ciena’s balance sheet. Ciena is continuing to evaluate other possible impacts of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its Consolidated Financial Statements and disclosures. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Schedule of Reconciliation of Numerator and Denominator of Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share | The following table (in thousands except per share amounts) is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic net income (loss) per common share (“Basic EPS”) and the diluted net income (loss) per potential common share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of the following, in each case, to the extent the effect is not anti-dilutive: (i) common shares outstanding; (ii) shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units; (iii) shares issuable under Ciena’s employee stock purchase plan and upon exercise of outstanding stock options, using the treasury stock method; (iv) shares underlying Ciena’s outstanding convertible notes for which Ciena uses the treasury stock method (the New Notes); and (v) shares underlying Ciena’s outstanding convertible notes for which Ciena uses the if-converted method.

Schedule of Weighted Average Shares Excluded From Calculation of Denominator for Basic and Diluted EPS | The following table summarizes the weighted average shares excluded from the calculation of the denominator for Diluted EPS due to their anti-dilutive effect for the periods indicated (in thousands): Quarter Ended April 30, Six Months Ended April 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Shares underlying stock options and restricted stock units 304 725 2,496 1,141 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due October 15, 2018 (Original) 3,038 — 3,038 17,356 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due October 15, 2018 (New) (2) — — 1,672 — 4.0% Convertible Senior Notes due December 15, 2020 9,198 9,198 9,198 9,198 Total shares excluded due to anti-dilutive effect 12,540 9,923 16,404 27,695 (1) Ciena's 0.875% convertible senior notes were paid at maturity during the third quarter of fiscal 2017. (2) Upon any conversion of the outstanding 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 ("New Notes"), Ciena intends to settle the principal amount thereof in cash. Accordingly, Ciena uses the treasury stock method for calculating any potential dilutive effect of the conversion spread on diluted net income per share, if applicable. The 14.3 million shares underlying the New Notes will have a dilutive impact on diluted net income per share of common stock when the average market price of Ciena common stock for a given period exceeds the conversion price of $ 20.17 per share for the New Notes. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , the average market price of Ciena common stock was $ 24.76 . As a result, for the quarter ended April 30 , 2018 , the conversion spread for the New Notes is 2.7 million shares and included in the calculation of the denominator. For the six months ended April 30, 2018 , the conversion spread for the New Notes is 1.7 million shares; however, these shares were excluded from the calculation of the denominator as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect. |
