    摘要: At the time of receiving a repeater supervisory signal superimposed on or combined by wavelength multiplexing with a main optical signal in an optical amplifier repeater system, the received optical signal is subjected to a photoelectric conversion by a photodetector and then branched into two electric signals, the one of which is subjected to equalizing amplification, timing extraction and discrimination and regeneration to extract only the main signal component. The main signal component thus extracted and the main signal contained in the other electric signal, which is not regenerated, are respectively subjected to required equalization, delay adjustment and amplitude adjustment so that they match with one another in waveform, phase and amplitude. In addition, the amplitude adjustment of the main signal is automatically controlled. By differentially combining these signals to remove only the main signal component to minimize its residual value, thereby extracting the supervisory signal to be obtained.

    摘要: An optical pulse generator, capable of generating ultrashort optical pulses suitable for optical soliton transmission, includes a DFB laser 10 for continuous laser oscillation, an electroabsorbtion modulator 12 for creating a sequence of optical pulses of the pulse width 14.6 ps from optical output of the laser 10. Output from an optical modulator 12 enters into a dispersion decreasing fiber 16 via an optical isolator 14. The dispersion decreasing fiber 16 has chromatic dispersion that decreases from 13.7 ps/nm/km to 2.3 ps/nm/km with distance, and its fiber length is 15 km. Pump laser beams from pump lasers 20, 24 are introduced to the dispersion decreasing fiber 16 by optical couplers 18, 22, and the fiber 16 functions as a Raman amplifier. When the Raman gain is 2.4 dB, the pulse width is compressed from 14.6 ps to 5.8 ps, approximately, even when the power of input pulses to the dispersion decreasing fiber 16 complies with the soliton condition.

    摘要: A line monitoring apparatus which features a simple configuration is capable of quickly detecting a position where a failure has occurred. A main track signal on an up-stream optical transmission path is set for a different wavelength from that on a down-stream optical transmission path, so that the wavelength of loopback signals fed back from repeaters does not overlap the wavelength of the main track signals transmitted from a transmitting terminal station. This makes it possible to separate the main track signals and the loopback signals by using dividing circuits at receiving terminal stations. In addition, the level of the separated loopback signals can be set higher than that in the past; therefore, a monitoring signal can be quickly detected in the loopback signal.

    摘要: The purpose of the invention is to detect a surveillance signal in a shorter time without lowering the usable merit of wavelength. The transmission signal transmitting through the optical fiber transmission lines is specified as a light FDM signal multiplexed in wavelength, and the surveillance light signal is interposed in the middle of two adjacent channel slots. The surveillance light signal is produced such that the spread spectrum is applied to the surveillance carrier and thereby a light signal is modulated in intensity. The light FDM signal and surveillance light signal are turned to the facing transmission lines in the optical repeaters to be received by each terminal station, and the modulation rate of the surveillance light signal can be made deeper so that the surveillance signal can be detected in a shorter time.

    摘要: An oscillator oscillates at a predetermined reference frequency, and a reference signal light sender generates light (reference signal light) of a specific wavelength deeply modulated by output from the oscillator. A frequency divider frequency-divides the output from the oscillator into a certain number, and outputs a tone signal of a predetermined measurement frequency. Output from the frequency divider is applied to selected one of a plurality of optical transmission signal senders via one of a plurality of switches, and is used to slightly intensity-modulate a corresponding optical transmission signal. An optical divider in an optical repeater outputs most of output light from an optical amplifier onto an optical fiber transmission line toward a terminal station, and applies small amounts of the light to a measuring circuit. The measuring circuit synchronously detects the measurement frequency component in the received light using the reference frequency obtained from the reference signal light of the specific wavelength. A modulator slightly varies the amplification gain of the other optical amplifier that amplifies the signal light travelling on the other optical fiber transmission line in response to results of measurement by the measuring circuit.

    摘要: An optical modulation device is disclosed in which a difference between the photon energy of incident light and the band-gap energy of the modulation waveguide layer is set to a value greater than 50 meV to thereby suppress the degradation of the modulation voltage and the modulation band width which is caused by an increase in the intensity of incident light and in that the optical modulation device is formed in a predetermined length to thereby decrease the modulation voltage. The energy gap of the optical waveguide layer of the optical modulation device is varied continuously or discontinuously in the direction of its thickness to provide a constant absorption coefficient thickwise of the optical waveguide layer so that the electric field intensity distribution in the optical waveguide layer is compensated for, by which overlap of the light distribution and the absorption coefficient is increased so as to decrease the modulation voltage and broaden the modulation band by the reduction of the length of the device. The composition, thickness and stripe width of the optical waveguide layer are changed so that its absorption coefficient increases from the light receiving end face of the optical waveguide layer toward its light emitting end face, thereby making the number of carriers absorbed per unit length substantially constant in the direction of travel of light.
