    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for circumventing, and altering transmission-channel users of, transmission-channel disruptions. In one embodiment of the present invention, a source (1602, 1702) encodes information in a first signal and transmits the first signal in a source channel (1610, 1712) to a multiplexer (1604, 1704). The multiplexer (1604, 1704) distributes the first signal over N transmission channels (1612, 1718). A demultiplexer (1606, 1806) combines the signals distributed over the N transmission channels (1612, 1718) into a second signal encoding of the information. The distribution system also includes a detector (1608,1730) that receives the second signal output from the demultiplexer (1606, 1706), and one or more detectors (1620, 1732) that receive one or more additional signals output from the demultiplexer (1606, 1706). The additional signals are produced by the demultiplexer (1606, 1706) when a disruption occurs in one or more of the transmission channels and are used to alert transmission-channel users of the disruption.

    摘要: The object of the present invention is to provide a compact dispersion slope equalizer by which it is possible to simultaneously recover distorted waveforms of WDM signals by dispersion slope of DSF or NZ-DSF at 1.55µm band, and to compensate for the dispersion of various fiber transmission lines having various dispersion values and variation of dispersion value caused by the temperature change or the like. WDM signals distorted by the dispersion slope of the fiber are introduced into an input waveguide (1, 20), and are demultiplexed by a wavelength demultiplexer (2, 21) into each wavelength component, and pass through lattice-form optical circuits (4-1 to 4-N), transversal-form optical circuits (23-1 to 23-N), or the combination of these circuits. The dispersion slope of the signals is compensated for by these circuits. The recovered signals are multiplexed by a wavelength multiplexer (5, 24), and the multiplexed light is outputted at an output waveguide (6, 25). Arrayed-waveguide gratings can be used as the wavelength demultiplexer and multiplexer. Also, cascaded configuration of Mach-Zehnder interferometers, bulk-type optical filters, or fiber-type (or waveguide-type) gratings in series can also be used as the wavelength demultiplexer and multiplexer.
