摘要:
The present invention regenerates optical signals in an intact optical state according to a low-speed optical clock. In one embodiment, an optical splitter applies a portion of optical pulse signals to a clock recovery circuit and the rest to an optical splitter. The optical splitter applies half of the input signal to an optical regenerator and the rest to another optical regenerator. The clock recovery circuit regenerates an electric clock signal with half the frequency of the input optical pulse and applies the clock to an optical clock pulse generator. The optical clock pulse generator generates an optical clock signal with half the frequency of the input optical pulse whose phase matches with that of the optical signal at the optical regenerator. An optical regenerator regenerates the optical signal from the optical splitter in an intact optical state. A polarization combiner combine the optical signals from the optical regenerators in mutually orthogonal polarization.

In an optical repeating system including an optical transmitter and optical amplifying repeaters, the optical transmitter specifies one optical amplifying repeater, and transmits to the optical amplifying repeater a supervisory command to supervise internal circuits of the optical amplifying repeater and a control command to control amplification factors of optical amplifiers of the optical amplifying repeater as a first sub-signal. Receiving the supervisory command via an optical transmission line, the optical amplifying repeater transmits a supervisory signal indicating a supervisory result corresponding to the supervisory command to optical receivers via optical transmission lines as a second sub-signal. Receiving the control command via the optical transmission line, the optical amplifying repeater is controlled to change amplification factors of the optical amplifiers in response to the control command.

A supervisory system and supervisory method of an optical amplifier repeater are proposed that can implement operation supervision taking account of the characteristics of individual supervisory targets of the optical amplifier repeater, thereby achieving higher reliability. The supervisory system includes an optical transmitter for transmitting an optical signal including an operation command to notify of a state of a supervisory target; an optical amplifier repeater that transmits a response optical signal including a response code obtained by measuring the supervisory target in response to the operation command; an optical receiver for receiving the response optical signal via an optical fiber and an information processing unit for converting the response code into a numerical form by using a predetermined expression that links the response code with measured information obtained by measuring in advance the supervisory target with an external measuring device during operation of the optical amplifier repeater in response to the operation command.

A piston slidably fitted in a cylinder is connected to an auxiliary piston slidably fitted in an auxiliary cylinder coaxial with the cylinder through a first connecting rod. The left and right crankshaft halves are disposed outside of a piston sliding range of the cylinder with respect to the radial direction thereof. The increase of the volume of a combustion chamber corresponding to the increase of the crank angle with reference to top dead center of the piston is suppressed, and it is therefore possible to enhance the equal volume degree at the time of combustion of a mixture gas and to enhance thermal efficiency. This arrangement also enhances thermal efficiency, and simplifies the structures of intake systems and valve mechanisms when employed in horizontally opposed type internal combustion engine.

To increase thermal efficiency by increasing the degree of constant volume of a fuel-air mixture at the time of combustion in an internal combustion engine. In an internal combustion engine, a piston slidably fitted in a cylinder is connected to a crankshaft via a connecting rod, and a cylinder head in which a combustion chamber is defined is disposed between the piston and the crankshaft. As compared with a background art internal combustion engine in which a combustion chamber is disposed opposite to a crankshaft with a piston located therebetween, a ratio of an increased amount of the volume of the combustion chamber to an increased amount of a crank angle of the piston from the top dead center position can be suppressed at a small value.

An object of this invention is to improve transmission characteristics in WDM transmission. An optical transmitter (10) wavelength-multiplexes signal lights of wavelengths &lgr;1 through &lgr;n and outputs them onto an optical transmission line (12). Optical powers of the signal lights of the respective wavelength &lgr;1 through &lgr;n are identical or become smaller proportional to the wavelength. One repeater span of the optical transmission line (12) is composed of an optical fibers (20, 22) and an optical amplifier (24), and a gain equalizer (26) is dispersed every several repeater spans. The optical amplifier (24) in the repeater span amplifies each signal light so that optical power of a signal on the shorter wavelength side becomes smaller than that of a signal on the longer wavelength side. The gain equalizer (26) equalizes optical powers of the respective signal lights.

To realize an optical demultiplexer with a constant chromatic dispersion value, an optical signal of wavelength (&lgr;1) enters a port (A) of an optical circulator (10), and an optical signal of wavelength (&lgr;2) enters a port (A) of an optical circulator (12). A port (B) of the optical circulator (10) connects to a port (X0) of an interleaved optical filter (14), and a port (B) of the optical circulator (12) connects to a port (X1) of the optical filter (14). A port (Y0) of the optical filter (14) connects to a port (Y1) of the optical filter (14) through an optical isolator (16). The optical isolator (16) allows the optical propagation from the port (Y0) to the port (Y1) of the optical filter (14) and refuses the optical propagation from the port (Y1) to the port (Y0). An optical coupler (18) combines the input lights of the input ports (X0 and X1) from ports (C) of the optical circulators (10 and 12) and outputs from the output port (Y0). The optical filter (14) transmits wavelength (&lgr;1) in the straight propagation between the ports (X0, Y0) and between the ports (X1, Y1) and transmits wavelength (&lgr;2) in the cross propagation between the ports (X0, Y1) and between the ports (X1, Y0).

摘要:
A laser diode continuously laser-oscillates and its output light is applied to an optical modulator. A pulse driver drives the optical modulator according to a data to be transmitted. A phase modulator is driven by a phase modulator driver and phase-modulates the output from the optical modulator. The polarization direction of the incident light of the phase modulator is set so that the modulation efficiency of the phase modulator becomes the maximum. The output light of the phase modulator inputs a birefringent medium and applies to an optical transmission line after transmitting the birefringent medium. The principal axis of the birefringent medium is disposed so as to be at an angle of 45° to the polarization direction of the output light from the phase modulator.
