摘要:
The compensation device is used in an optical network where signals are transmitted from a main station (M) to one or a plurality of user stations (US1 to US3). It compensates for analogue optical signal distortion caused by laser chirp of a laser in the main station (M) which generates said analogue optical signal and fiber dispersion of the fiber link over which the optical signal is transmitted. The device includes a distance measuring device (R) generating a result signal (MS) indicative of the distance between the main station and the user stations and which is possibly already available in the network to perform ranging when the latter network is also used to transmit digital signals from the user stations to the main station using Time Division Multiple Access. It also includes a processing circuit (PC) which in response to a given laser chirp and the result signal, provides a tuning signal (V) to tune the bias voltage of a varactor diode (VD) which is part of the compensation circuit inserted in the electrical signal path. In an optimal implementation the measuring device (R) and the processing circuit (PC) are located in the main station (M), whilst the varactor diode (VD) is located in each user station.

The synchronizing arrangement synchronizes a digital data signal (Din) applied to its data input terminal (Din) with a local clock (CKin) applied to its clock input (CKin). It includes a tuned tapped delay line (TDL) where the local clock (CKin) is delayed, a sampling circuit (DR2,.,DR4) where the digital data signal is sampled using a number of delayed clock signals, a first processing circuit (P) where the middle of a 0 1 0 pattern included in the signal is determined, a second processing circuit P2 where the variation in time of that middle is determined and an output circuit where based on the mentioned middle and variation, one of the delayed clock signals is selected to read the digital data signal. The tuned tapped delay line includes a tapped delay line and a feedback circuit at two inputs of which the input of the tuned tapped delay line and its 90 degrees tap are applied. The output of the feedback circuit is connected to a control input of the tapped delay line.
摘要:
The optical amplifier splitter arrangement is used in a tree-like optical network (APON) consisting of the cascade connection of dedicated branches, of the arrangement and of a common branch. The arrangement is coupled between a plurality of optical network users and an optical line terminator, via the dedicated branches and the common branch respectively. The network enables upstream transmission of information signals from the optical network users to the optical line terminator. The optical amplifier splitter arrangement includes for each branch of the dedicated branches :
an optical amplifier to amplify an information signal with a gain value and to thereby generate an amplified information signal with a predetermined power level; an optical switch on/off coupled between the optical amplifier and an optical splitter to pass the amplified information signal when the information signal is present and to interrupt the branch when the information signal is not present. The optical splitter is included in the arrangement to combine all amplified information signals according to a multiple access technique and to thereby generate an outgoing optical signal for application to the optical line terminator.
摘要:
The method is used in an optical transmission network with a plurality of terminal stations (TS1-TSn) connected to a central station (CS) via a tree-like connection structure, to determine a signal transmission delay time between one terminal station (TSi) and the central station. The terminal stations are adapted to send cells containing information signals to the central station in dedicated time slots. The method consists of sending a start signal (start CR) from the central station to the terminal station (TSi), sending a first predetermined time interval after the receipt of that start signal, a ranging signal from the terminal station to the central station, sending a second predetermined time interval after the sending of the start signal an inhibit signal from the central station to the terminal stations to indicate that no cells may be transmitted during an idle time window; deducing in the central station the signal transmission delay time from contents of the predetermined ranging signal received by the central station during the idle time window. The ranging signal either has an amplitude which is smaller than the infomation signals contained in the cells in order not to disturb the information signals when the ranging signal is transmitted outside the idle time window, or has a similar amplitude in which case error codes are included in the cells in order to recover possible disrupted cells.
摘要:
The system includes two transmitters (T1, T2) and two receivers (R1, R2). One transmitter (T1) includes a wavelength tunable laser, sending an FSK optical signal (OS1) which has a constant intensity. In a first receiver (R1) this FSK optical signal (OS1) is transformed into an IM signal (OS1') by an optical pass band filter. This IM signal (OS1') is then detected by a first direct detection receiver (DM). In a second direct detection receiver (R2) the FSK optical signal (OS2) is not detected, since it has constant intensity. A second transmitter (T2) includes a Fabry Perot laser or a LED with a broad linewidth, sending an IM optical signal (OS2). This IM optical signal (OS2) is detected by the second direct detection receiver (R2). It is not detected by the first direct detection receiver (DM), because it is strongly attenuated when passing through the narrow bandpass optical filter (TM) before being applied to the first direct detection receiver. This system is especially advantageous in bidirectional optical transmission systems, due to its inherent insensitivity for reflections.
