Abstract:
A plurality of lanes are formed between an Ethernet apparatus and a remote Ethernet apparatus. The Ethernet apparatus determines a transmission rate for transmitting a packet and determines the number of lanes to transmit a packet among a plurality of lanes according to the determined transmission rate. The Ethernet apparatus activates the determined number of lanes of a plurality of lanes and transmits the packet to the remote Ethernet apparatus through the activated lanes. Further, the Ethernet apparatus sets the number of lanes for receiving a packet according to a transmission rate, activates the set number of lanes of a plurality of lanes in a state that can receive the packet according to the set number of lanes, and receives packets that are transmitted from the remote Ethernet apparatus through the activated lanes.

A device for swapping optical labels and reproducing an optical payload, includes: an envelope detection unit outputting an envelope of payloads or labels of an optical burst signal by converting phases of two signals obtained by converting the optical burst signal into an electrical signal; a payload processing unit extracting a payload signal, which is included in the optical burst signal, by synchronizing the optical burst signal with the envelope output from the envelope detection unit and optically reproducing or wavelength-converting the extracted payload signal; and a label processing unit extracting a label signal, which is included in the optical burst signal, by synchronizing the optical burst signal with the envelope output form the envelope detection unit and converting the extracted label signal according to a path along which the optical burst signal is transmitted. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively swap the labels, reproduce the payload signal, and switch and transmit the signals, in the network for transmitting the optical burst signal.

Abstract:
An optical transceiver which can effectively reduce optical output jitter when an error is made during designing and manufacturing of a printed circuit board (PCB), and a method of controlling optical output jitter using the optical transceiver are provided. The optical transceiver includes a transmitter unit including an equalizing (EQ) filter which can reduce jitter of a high speed electric signal; a control circuit which controls the EQ filter; a receiver unit which receives an optical signal; and a micro-controller which controls the transmitter unit and the receiver unit. Further included in the optical transceiver is an active type or passive type EQ filter and, in the case of the active type, the control circuit is used to control the filter, in order to compensate for high-frequency component of a high speed electric signal in the transmitter unit in order to reduce reflection or loss on the PCB, and thus deterministic optical output jitter occurring due to Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) can be reduced.

The present invention relates to a method for revising a wavelength of the EML by controlling a working temperature based on arithmetic functional relations between the DC-Offset voltage and the wavelength and between the working temperature and the wavelength, and a computer-readable recording medium thereof. The method includes the steps of: re-setting initial values of a working temperature, a amplifying voltage and the DC-Offset voltage; determining a wavelength with respect to the re-set DC-Offset voltage based on a functional relation between the DC-Offset voltage and the wavelength of the EML; and determining the revising working temperature for the determined wavelength based on the functional relation between the working temperature and the wavelength of the EML, and re-setting the working temperature with the revising working temperature.

Abstract:
This apparatus of bidirectional optical recirculation loop transmission enables bidirectional transmission system to be tested in the long transmission distance. Unidirectional optical recirculation loop is composed of two optical modulators and one 4-port optical coupler. Bidirectional optical recirculation loop is composed of four optical switches, one 4-port optical coupler and six optical circulators. Two optical circulators at the entrance (simultaneously exit) of the loop enable transmitted (received) signals to be added (dropped). Four optical circulators enable forward (reverse) signal to bypass the optical switch set for reverse (forward) signal in the inner optical loop. Forward (reverse) signal can be transmitted simultaneously with the reverse (forward) signal without interference. Two independent optical recirculation loops exist on the same fiber link in each direction.

There are provided a method and system for monitoring an optical transmission line. The system for monitoring the optical transmission line includes: an OTDR (optical time-domain reflectometer) transmitting a monitoring light to an optical transmission line, measuring a reflected light or backscattered light to monitor the optical transmission line; an optical amplification unit amplifying the monitoring light transmitted on the optical transmission line by using a gain clamped optical amplifier; and a filter unit removing a component having a wavelength outside a wavelength band of the monitoring light from a backward ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) generated by the optical amplification unit. Accordingly, it is possible to extend an optical transmission line monitoring distance of the OTDR. As a result, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the performance of the OTDR because of the backward ASE.
