摘要:
A controller (110) for controlling a transceiver having a laser transmitter and a photodiode receiver. The controller includes memory (120, 122, 128) for storing information related to the transceiver, and analog to digital conversion circuitry (127) for receiving a plurality of analog signals from the laser transmitter and photodiode receiver, converting the received analog signals into digital values, and storing the digital values in predefined locations within the memory. Comparison logic (131) compares one or more of these digital values with limit values, generates flag values based on the comparisons, and stores the flag values in predefined locations within the memory. Control circuitry (123-1, 123-2) in the controller controls the operation of the laser transmitter in accordance with one or more values stored in the memory. A serial interface (121) is provided to enable a host device to read from and write to locations within the memory. Excluding a small number of binary input and output signals, all control and monitoring functions of the transceiver are mapped to unique memory mapped locations within the controller. A plurality of the control functions and a plurality of the monitoring functions of the controller are exercised by a host computer by accessing corresponding memory mapped locations within the controller.

Optical communication systems (110) include a central station (103) that encodes data transmitted to multiplexing stations (111, 113) or user stations (117). The central station (103) also decodes data received from the multiplexing stations (111, 113) or user stations (117). Encoding and decoding are performed using codes, such as composite codes, that designate sources and destinations for data. The multiplexing stations (111, 113), user stations (117), and the central station (103) have address encoders and decoders that use, for example, fiber Bragg gratings to encode or decode optical signals according to a code such as a composite code derived by combining codes from one or more sets of codes. A passive optical network comprises one or more levels of multiplexing stations (111, 113) that use such address decoders and encoders to receive, decode, and encode data for transmission toward a central station (103) or a user station (117).

A passive optical network includes a central office and a subscriber-side apparatus connected with the central office through an optical fiber link. The subscriber-side apparatus performs communication with the central office based on wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signals. The central office has a routing section, provided with first to fourth multiplexing ports, for demultiplexing multi-wavelength light inputted from the fourth multiplexing port into a plurality of channels. Each of the demultiplexed channels is amplified and multiplexed for output through the first multiplexing port. Optical signals inputted through the third multiplexing port are demultiplexed and outputted upstream. The routing section also multiplexes channels for downstream optical signals, outputting the multiplexed channels through the second port. A splitting section, provided with first to third splitting ports and arranged on a loop optical waveguide connects the first and fourth multiplexing port with each other. The splitting section causes some of multi-wavelength light inputted into the first splitting port to be outputted through the second splitting port and causes the remainder of multi-wavelength light to be outputted through the third splitting port connected with the fourth multiplexing port. A circulator causes the multi-wavelength light inputted through the second splitting port to be transmitted to the subscriber-side apparatus and causes upstream optical signals received from the subscriber-side apparatus to be outputted to the third multiplexing port.

This invention teaches new types of linearization circuits, exhibiting improved broadband suppression of nonlinear distortion. These realizations do not require the use of reactive elements such as capacitors, or of active elements such as transistors, eliminating the drawbacks of prior art realizations. The linearization circuits are particularly suitable for linearizing optical sources with odd wave voltage to light transfer characteristics, such as externally modulated CW lasers (Fig. 16, 18 and 19). The fundamental building blocks of the linearization circuits of this invention are novel nonlinear electrical one-ports (Fig. 3a) with an expansive V-I characteristic, denoted as ENLOP (Fig. 7) (Expansive Nonlinear one-Ports). The ENLOP building blocks are further embedded in linear circuits (Fig. 10).
