    摘要: A integrated optical circuit comprises an interferometer having a first optical path and a second optical path configured for regenerating an input signal entering the first path by interference at a first coupler between continuous wave (CW) signals from the two optical paths, and a third optical path configured such that a canceling signal passing therethrough cancels, at a second coupler, a traveling signal from the first arm. When the device is operated in a counter-propagative mode, the traveling signal is the CW signal from the first arm. When the device is operated in a co-propagative mode, the traveling signal is the input signal from the first arm.

    摘要: A system, method and device for AO2R is presented. The AO2R system presented is redundant, containing multiple pathways for the input and output signals to travel. The system carries out both the regeneration and reshaping functions in the optical domain, and returns a clean output signal at the same bit rate and in the same format as the input signal, on a wavelength of choice. As an all optical device, the apparatus is bit rate and format transparent, and requires no optical-electrical-optical conversion. The system's built in redundancy and symmetry allows less than perfect yields on components to be tolerated, thus increasing the utility of devices manufactured with less than perfect yields. In alternative embodiments the redundancy aspect of the invention can be extended to any optical signal processing device, thus facilitating high availability optical signal processing.

    摘要: A single device for amplifying and multiplying an optical signal is presented. The device is an InP-semiconductor-based amplified multimode interferometer. The three main sections of the device are an input port, an interference and amplification region and N output ports. The input port is a single channel waveguide. The interference and amplification section supports a large number of modes which interfere with one another. By carefully choosing the length of the interference/amplification region to correspond to the constructive interference condition for N equally spaced channel modes, we can reproduce N amplified signals. In an alternate embodiment, by shaping the gain region into a cross pattern, corner reflections and consequent side channel signal distortion in the output can be minimized.

    摘要: A facility is provided to allow a supervisory message to quickly propagate through a transmission network without delay. Specifically, a supervisory message is quickly routed from one node to a next node by (a) splitting the control channel signal carrying the supervisory message at a receiving node, (b) sending one of the split control channel signals to an output via switchable apparatus for immediate transmission the next node and (c) sending the other split signal to a controller for analysis. If the controller invokes a predetermined procedure as a result of the content of the message, e.g., invokes protection switching, then the controller forms a supervisory message identifying the invoked procedure, operates the switchable apparatus so that the message identifying the invoked procedure may be routed to the output in place of the split channel signal message.
