摘要:
An optical spectral coding scheme for fiber-optic code-division multiple-access (FO-CDMA) networks. The spectral coding is based on the pseudo-orthogonality of FO-CDMA codes properly written in the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) devices. For an incoming broadband optical signal, the designed Bragg wavelengths of the FBG will be reflected and spectrally coded with the written FO-CDMA address codes. Maximal-length sequence codes (M-sequence codes) are chosen as the signature or address codes to exemplify the coding and correlation processes in the FO-CDMA system. By assigning the N cyclic shifts of an M-sequence code vector to N users, the invention achieves an FO-CDMA network that can support N simultaneous users. The FO-CDMA encoding/decoding devices consist of a series of FBGs. To overcome the impact of multiple-access interference (MAI) on the performance of the FO-CDMA system, the FBG decoder is configured on the basis of orthogonal correlation functions of the nearly orthogonal M-sequence codes.

A fiber optics network has a physical layer that can accommodate HFC type CATV communications or G.983.1 type communications. Downstream communications are performed using HFC to take advantage of the multiple simultaneous broadcast capability. Upstream communications are performed using G.983.1 to take advantage of the resistence to ingress noise and the more standardized approach offered by G.983.1.

To provide a clock synchronization supervisory method of an OSC signal in a wavelength multiplexing system whereby, in the case where a slip alarm is generated by transmission line trouble, optimum clock synchronization supervision in OSC communication is performed by masking this slip alarm. A clock synchronization supervisory method of the OSC signal has a configuration wherein, in the wavelength multiplexing system for transferring a management message and user data among sequentially connected apparatuses by clock-synchronized OSC communication, each apparatus supervises clock synchronization and inserts slip alarm mask information into the OSC signal when transmission line trouble occurs so as to send it to an opposite apparatus, and the opposite apparatus takes out the slip alarm mask information from the received OSC signal and masks the slip alarm.

A system includes an optical transmitter that outputs an optical signal having a substantially Gaussian waveform and an optical receiver that is optically coupled to the optical transmitter and has an impulse response essentially matching the waveform. The impulse response and waveform preferably match in the time domain. The transmitter and receiver may be average-power-limited, using, for example, an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. To achieve a high signal-to-noise ratio, the waveform may be designed to minimize jitter, sample duration, matching parasitics, and inter-symbol interference (ISI). Such a waveform may be a return-to-zero (RZ) Gaussian or Gaussian-like waveform and may be transmitted in a variety of modulation formats. Further, the system may be used in WDM or TDM systems. A method for characterizing the time domain impulse response of an optical element used in the optical receiver is provided, where the method is optionally optimized using deconvolution and/or cross-correlation techniques.

In one aspect of the invention, a system operable to reduce degradation of an optical signal to noise ratio where signals having multiple wavelengths are communicated over a common optical link includes an amplifier assembly operable to introduce to a lower communication band a first gain and to introduce to a higher communication band a second gain that is different from the first gain. In addition, the system is operable to introduce a variable gain tilt into at least one of the communication bands. The different gains introduced to the higher and lower bands and the variable gain tilt introduced into at least one of the bands result in a reduction of a degradation of optical signal to noise ratio that could otherwise be caused by wavelength dependent attenuation when the communication bands are combined and communicated over an optical link.

摘要:
An arrangement and a method are disclosed for compensating for distortion in an optical signal having data modulated thereon which was caused by distortion effects on an optical fiber link, using a dispersion compensator which processes the incoming optical signal such that an optical or electric signal having the data of the input signal modulated thereon is provided at its output, with the output signal of the dispersion compensator exhibiting a distortion reduced from that of the input signal. The arrangement and the method are characterized in that the dispersion compensator is preceded by an optical bandpass filter which limits the spectral range of the incoming optical signal to a narrower range. In this way, even optical signal distortion due to higher-order dispersion effects can be selectively compensated for with simple technical means such that greater link lengths and more reliable adaptation to varying transmission conditions become possible.
