    摘要: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method of modeling an optical signal transmission path may include obtaining first transmission characteristics of an optical signal transmission path within an optical network based on a parameter of the optical network and randomly changing states of polarization of an optical signal within the optical signal transmission path. The method may also include obtaining second transmission characteristics of the optical signal transmission path based on the parameter and a first fixed state of polarization of the optical signal. The method may also include correlating the first transmission characteristics with the second transmission characteristics to obtain an effective state of polarization of the optical signal. A simulation of the optical signal transmission path based on the parameter and the effective state of polarization of the optical signal may produce transmission characteristics that may approximate the first transmission characteristics.

    摘要: A control method, which is applicable to a variety of network configurations, controls an optical transmission system to determine optimum optical input power to a transmission path for increased optical transmission quality. The optical transmission system has terminal stations, repeaters, dispersion compensation modules, and a dispersion compensation controller. The terminal stations transmit and receive an optical signal through an optical fiber transmission path. The repeaters are disposed in the optical fiber transmission path for amplifying the optical signal. The dispersion compensation modules are disposed in the terminal stations and the repeaters for compensating for dispersion of the optical signal. The dispersion compensation controller determines a target value for a nonlinear phase shift, which is an indication of a self-phase modulation caused by a transmission medium of the optical fiber transmission path, to have a maximum residual dispersion tolerance, and adjusts at least one of the input powers applied to transmission paths connected to the terminal stations or the repeaters and the input powers applied to the dispersion compensation modules to equalize the nonlinear phase shifts of paths in the optical transmission system to the target value.
