Abstract:
Disclosed are a digital equalization apparatus for a coherent optical receiver and a digital equalization method for a coherent optical receiver, capable of compensating for chromatic dispersion and polarization impairment through a digital signal processing, and capable of performing a clock recovery and a data recovery through a digital symbol synchronization. The digital equalization apparatus and the method compensate for various impairments occurring on an optical path in a digital manner and achieve synchronization through a simple structure.
Abstract:
An optical transmitting apparatus is disclosed. The optical transmitting apparatus outputs a signal having the same phase characteristics as a Return-to-Zero Differential Phase-Shift-Keying (RZ-DPSK) signal by using a single phase modulator. Accordingly, it is possible to generate RZ-DPSK signals without using a separate RZ modulator.
Abstract:
An optical transmission apparatus for high-speed optical signal transmission is provided. The optical transmission apparatus includes an optical modulator which includes first and second modulators of a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) interferometer type which are connected in parallel, and an output stabilizer which controls biases for the first modulator, the second modulator and the optical modulator and stabilizes a final output optical signal of the optical modulator. The optical transmission apparatus can perform a stable optical signal output.
Abstract:
A network node and method for guaranteeing the role of an optical supervisory channel (OSC) in an optical transport network (OTN) are provided. In the network node, at least two OSC units are multiplexed, one of the OSC units is set as a main unit, the other OSC unit is set as an auxiliary unit; and the auxiliary unit is activated when the main unit cannot be operated. Thereby, the network node can guarantee the stable role of the OSC.
Abstract:
Provided is an optical network in which a wavelength division multiplexing-based optical transmission scheme is implemented. An apparatus for cross-connecting an optical path includes a path switch including a plurality of input terminals receiving optical signals from other nodes, and a plurality of output terminals sending the optical signals to the other nodes, the path switch switching the path of the optical signal so that the optical signal input via one of the input terminals is output to one of the output terminals; and a wavelength converter converting a wavelength of the optical signal input via the input terminal and outputting the wavelength-converted optical signal to the output terminal according to a switching result of the path switch. Thus, inefficient use of a network resource due to wavelength collision can be prevented, the path can be automatically cross-connected and thus quickly established, path switching and branch combination can be performed irrespective of wavelength, and switching can be performed irrespective of direction.
