摘要:
A method of suppressing noise and improving the optical transmission characteristic of a wavelength division multiplexing transmission system provides lights for suppressing noise from the light sources (NS1 and NS2) which are multiplexed on the wavelength division multiplexed signal. Consequently, the S/N ratio of each channel of a wavelength division multiplexed signal which propagates through the optical path can be improved.

To control a gain profile in an optical fiber line to become a desirable form, a C-OTDR measuring apparatus (36) outputs a probe pulse light having a wavelength λm for an optical fiber line (14). A power level on the input or output side of a variable gain equalizer (22) can be measured according to a C-OTDR waveform of a return light of the probe pulse light entered through a C-OTDR path (20c) and an optical fiber line (16). By sweeping the measurement wavelength λm, the gain file is measured. The equalizing characteristics of the variable gain equalizer (22) are remotely controlled so that the gain profile becomes a desirable form according to the measured result.

To provide an apparatus for measuring chromatic dispersion when modulating frequency of a variable wavelength light source is different from modulating frequency of a fixed wavelength light source for reference. This apparatus is provided with a variable wavelength light phase comparator 24 for obtaining a phase difference &phgr;x-&phgr;x′ between a variable wavelength light component and a signal having the first modulating frequency fmx, a fixed wavelength light phase comparator 25 for obtaining a phase difference between a phase difference &phgr;0-&phgr;0′ between a fixed wavelength light component and an electrical signal having the second modulating frequency fm0, a phase difference converter 26 for converting the phase difference &phgr;0-&phgr;0′ calculated by the fixed wavelength light phase comparator 25 into &phgr;ex, which corresponds to the first modulating frequency fmx, and a true phase difference calculator 27 for measuring a true phase difference &phgr; between the phase difference &phgr;x-&phgr;x′ calculated by the variable wavelength light phase comparator 24, and the converted result &phgr;ex of phase difference converter 26, and obtains the true phase difference &phgr; from which an affect of contraction/extension of a DUT 30 is removed when the first modulating frequency fmx and the second modulating frequency fm0 are different, thereby measuring wave dispersion.
