    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for monitoring an optical transmission path through an optical transmission system supporting bidirectional communication between first and second terminals along first and second optical transmission paths. The first transmission path includes at least one optical amplifier located therein. In accordance with the method, a test signal is generated, which is formed by a superposition of first and second optical tones located at first and second wavelengths, respectively. The first and second wavelengths are within the bandwidth of the optical amplifier. The amplitude and phase of the first and second optical tones are arranged so that the test signal has a substantially constant intensity over a modulation cycle of the first and second optical tones. The test signal is transmitted from the first terminal along the first optical transmission path and through the optical amplifier. A portion of the test signal is received at the first terminal after it traverses the optical amplifier, an optical loop-back path, and a second transmission path. The received portion of the test signal may be compared to a delayed rendition of the generated test signal to assess transmission path performance.

    摘要: A method is provided for determining the system performance of an optical transmission system that supports an optical signal having a plurality of channels. The method begins by selecting a set of parameters defining characteristics of the transmission system. Exemplary parameters include, for example, the system's length, bit rate, the number of amplifiers and channels employed, and the wavelengths of the channels and their respective power levels. The method continues by determining a baseline value of the system performance that accounts for fiber loss, optical amplifier gain and noise, and system gain equalization. Next, a first penalty to the baseline system performance is determined. The first penalty arises from a nonlinear interaction between the optical signal and amplified spontaneous emission. A second penalty to the baseline system performance is then determined. The second penalty arises from self-phase modulation and cross-phase modulation. Finally, the first and second penalties are subtracted from the baseline system performance to obtain a value of system performance for the transmission system.

    摘要: A method of managing fault recovery in a trunk-branched OADM network may include determining that an optical power level over data channels of a first communications link between a first and a second terminal of the branched optical network exceeds an optical power limit. The method may further include increasing optical power sent over spare channels of the first communications link to a first level at which the optical power level over the data channels decreases to a second level below the optical power limit.

    摘要: An inverse multiplexing communication path is established in at least one direction between nodes connected by a plurality of lower bandwidth bearing channels between the nodes, on which the content of a higher bandwidth signal is distributed and from which the original high bandwidth signal is recovered at the receiving node. During preliminary configuration, for example when selecting a subset of bearer channels from among a number of potential bearer channels, the bearer channels are chosen or are altered by signal processing to make the members of the subset perform similarly, thereby improving operations as compared to having the bearer channels bound to perform according to the performance of the least-performing member of the subset.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for managing chromatic dispersion in an NRZ-based WDM long-haul optical transmission system so that nonlinearities are reduced, especially those at the edge channels of the band. The method includes using between 500 ps/nm and 2000 ps/nm of residual dispersion and a 40%/60% pre/post DCU split ratio when the channel wavelengths are shorter than the zero dispersion wavelength. Using these dispersion compensation rules, the nonlinear propagation effects in NRZ-based WDM systems is reduced, thus allowing for higher optical power per channel and/or longer transmission distances.

    摘要: Collisions between solitons in different frequency channels are one of the major sources of errors in transmission systems that utilize wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). Moreover, because standard transmission lines have lumped amplification, the four-wave mixing fields from soliton collisions grow uncontrollably, adding amplitude and timing jitter to the jitter due to ideal soliton collisions. These problems are addressed by using a specific dispersion map to implement dispersion management, by which it is possible to significantly reduce the collision-induced timing jitter and to improve system performance even in comparison with that provided by an ideal, exponentially decreasing dispersion fiber.
