摘要:
A system and method for monitoring an optical communication system. The system may include trunk terminals coupled through a trunk path and a branch terminal coupled the trunk path. A monitoring signal routing device within the branch terminal routes a monitoring signal from a branch-drop path to a branch-add path.

In general, optical communication systems and methods may generate higher-level nmQAM from nQAM signals using one or more delay line interferometers (DLIs) arranged in various configurations. The nQAM signals may be generated by a lower-level modulator, such as a BPSK modulator, QPSK modulator or lower-level QAM modulator, with binary driving signals. Different parameters of the DLIs, such as free spectral range (FSR), phase shift, and amplitude imbalance, may be selected to accomplish the desired higher-level nmQAM depending upon the nQAM signal.
摘要:
Various high loss loop back (HLLB) repeater architectures are disclosed that enable selectively monitoring (e.g., measuring, analyzing, etc) of Rayleigh signals from both inbound and outbound directions of an optical communication system. In one such embodiment, first and second optical test signal frequencies (or ranges) are used, in conjunction with selective filtering, for monitoring the outbound and inbound paths, respectively. The repeater architectures allow optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) monitoring techniques to be employed, for example, in particularly long repeater spans, such as those in excess of 90 km in length.

Nucleic acid molecules Rcan5 and Rcan6 derived from Poncirus confer disease resistance to citrus tristeza virus (CTV) infection in a non-Poncirus plant. Methods of conferring disease resistance to CTV infection, as well as citrus plants having a nucleic acid molecule that induces disease resistance to CTV infection are described.

Embodiments of an apparatus for forming a WDM signal having orthogonally polarized optical channels are disclosed. Utilizing the optical channels formed using non-polarization-maintaining components, the apparatus selectively controls a state of polarization (SOP) of each optical channel.

摘要:
A system and method with a modified bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID). A first group of coded and interleaved bits are coded with a second FEC code and a second group of coded and interleaved bits are not coded with the second FEC code. The first and second groups are then mapped to a modulation format. The second FEC code may be a single parity check (SPC) and the scheme may be referred to as a BICM-ID scheme with a fractional secondary coding.
摘要:
An optical transmitter utilizing a multi-level data modulator to produce a PDM-QPSK signal, a one-bit delay interferometer configured to correlate the multi-level data modulated signal and an optical filter configured to combine the correlated multi-level data modulated signal with one or more neighboring signals prior to transmitting over one of a plurality of optical channels. The PDM-QPSK correlated signal is configured to reduce the signal spectrum thereby increasing spectral efficiency of the transmitted signal.
摘要:
In general, optical communication systems and methods may implement a vestigial phase shift keying (PSK) modulation format to enable relatively high transmission rates with closer channel spacing and improved signal detection in a WDM optical communication system. A PSK modulated signal may be correlated with a phase shift, for example, using a delay line interferometer (DLI), to generate a vestigial PSK signal, which may be pre-filtered, combined, and transmitted in the WDM system. The correlation with a phase shift compresses and shifts the signal spectrum such that intersymbol interference (ISI) length may be reduced with minimal increase in the bit error rate (BER) when the vestigial PSK signal is detected.
