    摘要: A bidirectional WDM optical communications link has WDM signals sent in opposite directions along a shared optical path and using at least one common wavelength. An optical amplifier (20, 21, 22, 70, A1D, A2U, A2D) optically amplifies (144) a first WDM signal separately from a second WDM signal in the other direction. This separated optical amplification is controlled (134) according to indications of transmission quality at the common wavelength, to alter the relative optical powers of the first and second WDM signals to enable crosstalk at the common wavelength to be limited. Cross talk at the common wavelength can be improved by rebalancing relative amounts of cross talk in the different directions, to enable the capacity benefits of using a common wavelength for both directions to be obtained while using greater optical signal power. This is particularly useful where the optical power is asymmetric, such as in WDM PON systems.

    摘要: A method for measuring asymmetry in propagation delay of first and second links which connect a first node to a second node of a communication network. The method comprises measuring (101) a round trip delay of the first link. The round trip delay can be measured by transmitting (102) a test signal from the first node to the second node over the first link and receiving a reply to the test signal from the second node over the first link. The method further comprises measuring (105) a round trip delay of the second link. The round trip delay can be measured by transmitting (106) a test signal to the second node over the second link and receiving a reply to the test signal from the second node over the second link. A difference in the propagation delay of the first link with respect to the second link is determined (109) using the measured round trip delays of the first link and the second link.
