The optical node connects N networks to each other (where N is an integer larger than one). Each of the N networks respectively includes a first transmission path and a second transmission path. The optical node includes a switching unit that connects the first transmission path of one network of the N networks to other (N-1) networks; a failure detector that detects failure in the first transmission path of the network; and a control unit that causes the switching unit to connect the second transmission path of the network to the other (N-1) networks when the failure is detected.

An interferometer for demodulating a differential M-phase shift keying signal includes a PLC type interferometer main body, a heating portion that heats the PLC type interferometer main body, and an intermediate member having a higher stiffness than that of the PLC type interferometer main body, for bonding the PLC type interferometer main body and the heating portion with each other while being sandwiched therebetween. A linear expansion coefficient difference between the PLC type interferometer main body and the intermediate member is equal to or smaller than 4.5×10−6/° C., and a thermal conductivity difference between the PLC type interferometer main body and the intermediate member is equal to or larger than 10 W/mK. A phase of an optical signal flowing through the interferometer is adjusted by using the heating portion and a second heating portion.

In the optical reception apparatus, a DQPSK polarization multiplexed signal light (S) input thereto is split into horizontally/vertically polarized signal lights (SH, SV) by a polarization beam splitter (3), and the signal lights (SH, SV) each is branched into two by each of optical couplers (4H, 4V). Then, one branched lights (SH1, SV1) by each of the optical couplers (4H, 4V) are supplied to a delay interferometer (5I) on the I branch via optical circulators (10I1, 10I2) to be propagated in bidirectional, and the other branched lights (SHQ, SVQ) by each of the optical couplers (4H, 4V) are supplied to a delay interferometer (5Q) on the Q branch side via optical circulators (10Q1, 10Q2) to be propagated in bidirectional, so that a set of delay interferometers (5I, 5Q) is commonly used for horizontally polarized waves and vertically polarized waves.

A calculation processing unit controls temperature of a Peltier device based on a slope of a waveform obtained by subtracting a waveform of a B-arm monitoring signal from a waveform of an A-arm monitoring signal and a value obtained by subtracting a value B of the B-arm monitoring signal from a value A of the A-arm monitoring signal. Similarly, the calculation processing unit controls a phase of the A-arm and a phase of the B-arm. An A-arm side micro-controller controls temperature of an A-arm side heater 22 based on the value of the A-arm monitoring signal, and controls the phase of the A-arm. A B-arm side micro-controller controls temperature of a B-arm side heater based on the value B of the B-arm monitoring signal, and controls the phase of the B-arm.
摘要:
Influence of polarization mode dispersion, occurring in an optical fiber is mitigated by means of polarization scrambling, differential group delay which a received optical signal has is optically suppressed; the optical signal in which differential group delay is thus suppressed is converted into an electric signal; and error correcting processing is carried out on the electric signal obtained, a jitter amplitude in the received optical signal is suppressed, influence of which to a jitter tolerance increases due to increase in speed of the polarization scrambling.

A wavelength-division multiplexing transmitter that is capable of enhancing its ability to compensate for a difference in light intensity between wavelengths. The wavelength-division multiplexing transmitter includes an optical branching part for branching a wavelength-division multiplexed input optical signal into a plurality of optical signals, a plurality of wavelength-selective devices for selecting as output wavelengths the wavelengths of each of the optical signals branched by the optical branching part, and an optical coupling part for coupling the output wavelengths respectively output from the plurality of wavelength-selective devices. At least either the branching in the optical branching part or the coupling in the optical coupling part is performed at a power ratio M:N where M and N differ from each other.

摘要:
A signal for each wavelength is extracted from multiplexed light signals that are wavelength-multiplexed and transmitted, and an evaluation value showing a degree of signal deterioration caused by polarization mode dispersion for each wavelength is measured. Then, the wavelength of a target of the polarization mode dispersion compensation is selected based on the evaluation value and the polarization mode dispersion compensation is implemented for only the light signal of the selected wavelength.
