Abstract:
Provided are a network node which has a wavelength switching cross-connection function and can thus interconnect paths of a wavelength-division-multiplexed optical signal and convert wavelengths, and an operating method of the network node. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a multi-degree cross-connection system having a simple structure at lower cost by allowing transmission of optical signals supposed not to be added/dropped at a network node without converting them into electrical signals and performing O/E conversion or E/O conversion only on optical signals supposed to be added/dropped at a network node. In addition, it is possible to increase the expandability of networks by regenerating degraded signals and which can effectively utilize bandwidths by grooming low-speed electrical digital hierarchy signals and transmitting them as high-speed optical signals. Moreover, it is possible to increase the availability of network resources by performing wavelength conversion without the need of additional wavelength converters. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent multiplexed optical signals from being degraded by filtering even when the multiplexed optical signals are not demultiplexed into wavelengths. Still furthermore, it is possible to perform a multicast operation on input wavelengths.

Abstract:
Provided is a multi-mode open-loop type clock extraction apparatus. In the apparatus, a power divider block divides an input data signal into two data signals. A first band-pass filter block and a second band-pass filter block extract a first clock frequency component or a second clock frequency component contained in the data signal output from the power divider. A first amplifier block and a second amplifier block amplify the first clock frequency component and the second clock frequency component respectively. Accordingly, it is possible to extract the respective clock signals corresponding to N data rates from the N data signals with various data rates using a single clock extraction apparatus.
