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.

A system for measuring laser spectrum is disclosed in which the laser light to be measured is branched into one branched light and the other branched light so that the laser spectrum of the light is measured from a beat output resulting from mixing a delayed light obtained by delaying the one branched light for a certain period of time with the other branched light undelayed. In accordance with the present invention, the delay time of the delayed light undergoes such variations as to assume a value equal to an integral multiple of a fixed delay time by the use of an optical directional coupler.

Delay time variation in an optical fiber digital communication system which includes optical regenerative repeaters is measured at one of terminal ends having reference clock signal. A monitor signal which depends upon the delay time variation is provided at the farthest repeater in an area where delay time is subject to secular change by dividing reference clock signal from said terminal end, and said monitor signal is returned to the terminal end from said farthest repeater, and the terminal end compares the returned monitor signal with the divided reference signal by using a phase comparator to provide measure of delay time variation.

An optical switch for switching laser beams, having a transparent glass plate with a reflection film on the surface of the same has been found. When the reflection film is at the first position, the first input beam is coupled with the output beam through the transparent glass plate, while the second input beam is prevented by said reflection film. When the reflection film is at the second position, the first input beam is prevented by said reflection film, and the second input beam is coupled with the output beam through the reflection by said reflection film. Thus, according to the displacement of the transparent glass plate together with the reflection film, the input beams are switched. Due to the above operational principle, the output optical level does not decrease even during the transient time, and then, the present optical switch is utilized in an optical repeater for digital communication.

A mobile dual-stack node engages in IPv6 communication while roaming within an IPv4-only network. The node determines that it has moved and obtains a new IPv4 address. After determining that the visited network contains no IPv6-enabled components, the node communicates with a tunnel broker to obtain a care-of address and a tunnel to an IPv6 connect agent (e.g., a tunnel server). If the obtained care-of address differs from the care-of address that the node had been using prior to the move, the node sends MIPv6 binding updates to its home agent and corresponding peers. The node can optimize the handoff when it has obtained a different care-of address by sending a binding update to the connect agent comprising the previous care-of address and the current care-of address. When the connect agent receives a packet destined for the previous care-of address, it forwards the packet to the current care-of address.

An optical repeater monitoring system, according to the invention, comprises an oscillating source, a reference signal transmitter for transmitting a reference signal of a predetermined frequency generated from an output of the oscillating source to a first optical fiber, and an optical repeater. The optical repeater has a first photodetector for converting light from the first optical fiber into an electrical signal, a reference signal extractor for extracting a component of the reference signal from an output of the first photodetector, a carrier generator for generating a carrier from an output of the reference signal extractor, a monitor signal modulator for modulating the carrier generated by the carrier generator with a monitor signal showing a operating state of the optical repeater, a transmitter for transmitting an output of the monitor signal modulator to a second optical fiber. The system further comprises a demodulating signal generator for generating a demodulating signal from either of the output from the oscillating source and the reference signal, the demodulating signal having a frequency equal to that of the monitor signal carrier, a second photodetector for photodetecting the light propagated on the second fiber, and a monitor signal demodulator for demodulating the monitor signal from outputs of the second photodetector and demodulating signal generator.
摘要:
To enable the surveillance of a long-distance optical fiber line that a method using the reflection lights and Rayleigh backscatter lights cannot cover, a plurality of optical reflection elements P1-Pn are interposed in the optical fiber line at each specific distance. Each of the optical reflection elements P1-Pn reflects only a light signal of one of specific wavelengths .lambda.1-.lambda.n on a constant level. Light pulses of the specific wavelengths .lambda.1-.lambda.n are transmitted to the optical fiber line to measure intensities of the light pulses reflected by the optical reflection elements P1-Pn. From the measurement, surveillance of the optical fiber line can be done between the transmitter and each of positions of the optical reflection elements P1-Pn. The reflectance of the optical reflection elements P1-Pn can be set to 100%, and the surveillance becomes possible even if the length of the optical fiber line exceeds 200 km.

A laser light generator includes an adder 12 which adds an optical frequency modulation signal Sm onto a d.c. voltage for driving a laser diode 10 for continuous laser oscillation, and applies the sum signal to the laser diode 10 to drive it. An light output from the laser diode 10 is introduced to an optical intensity controller 14 that is controlled by a control signal prepared by adjusting the optical frequency modulation signal Sm both in phase and in amplitude by a phase adjusting circuit 16 and an amplitude adjusting circuit 18. The optical intensity controller 14 may be an electroabsorption modulator that changes its transmissivity in response to an output voltage of the circuit 18. Quantities of adjustment by the circuits 16 and 18 are determined so that fluctuation in transmissivity of the optical intensity controller 14 suppresses intensity fluctuation of the light output of the laser diode 10.
