Abstract:
The present invention discloses a device and method for controlling a lasing wavelength of a tunable laser, and a wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network having the same. In a device and method for controlling a lasing wavelength of a tunable laser, and a wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network having the same, it is possible to improve performance of the wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network by automatically controlling a lasing wavelength of a tunable laser to be matched with a transmission wavelength of a wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer using optical power or optical beating components obtained by a reflected optical component which is Raleigh backscattered or reflected, and is generated on an optical fiber.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a fault localization method and a fault localization apparatus in a Passive Optical Network (PON) and a passive optical network having the same. A fault localization method in PON according to the present invention comprises a) configuring an optical path of a remote node (RN) selectively by electric power being fed temporarily only when necessary, while the PON is regularly being operated as a passive network; and b) detecting a fault occurring on the selectively configured optical path by inserting a monitoring signal of an OTDR unit, which is positioned in a central office (CO), through the selectively configured optical path.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a transmission device of a low-noise optical signal having a low-noise multi-wavelength light source, a transmission device of broadcast signals using a low-noise multi-wavelength light source, and an optical access network having the same. The present invention uses a low-noise multi-wavelength light source (LMLS) which has sufficiently low noises at respective wavelengths, while being lasing at a multi-wavelength. Noises at respective wavelengths are not increased, even though an output light of such an LMLS passes through a wavelength division multiplexer/demultiplexer (a tunable optical filter or an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), etc.). When using an LMLS, it is possible to embody an optical access network capable of transmitting optical signals at a high-speed and simultaneously transmitting a multicast signal. Further, when embodying an optical amplifier by using a gain medium for an LMLS, it is possible to obtain gain at a broad band without cross-coupling.
