摘要:
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.

A signal coupler couples more than three transmitter-receivers through optical fiber cables and at least one repeater on a bit-multiplex system, by exchanging or reallocating each time slot according to a transmission station and the related destination. The coupler has a means to release the bit-multiplexing (or demultiplex) the signals from each transmitter by deriving the control clock signals from the information signals themselves. The coupler also has a means for multiplexing the bit signals for each destination by automatically adjusting the phase relationships among the released signals (demultiplexed signals) for bit-synchronization using a delay circuit.

A process system produces a process liquid of a predetermined concentration in a blending tank by blending solutions respectively supplied from a plurality of solution supply sources, supplies the process liquid to a supply tank to store therein the process liquid, and supplies the process liquid from the supply tank to a process liquid discharge port. In this process system, whether a concentration of the process liquid in the supply tank has changed or not is judged. When it is judged that the concentration of the process liquid in the supply tank has changed, the process liquid is additionally supplied from the blending tank to the supply tank, or the solution is directly supplied from the solution supply source to the supply tank, so as to maintain the concentration of the process liquid.
摘要:
In a light source for generating light containing multiple wavelengths substantially uniform in intensity, a wavelength demultiplexing element 10 (for example, waveguide-type wavelength selecting filter) demultiplexes input light into a plurality of wavelengths &lgr;1 through &lgr;32. Optical amplifiers 14-1 through 14-32 amplify outputs of the element 10 and applies them to input ports of a wavelength multiplexing element 12. The wavelength multiplexing element 12 wavelength-multiplexes their input. Output of the wavelength multiplexing element 12 is applied to a fiber coupler 16 which, in turn, applies one of its outputs to the wavelength demultiplexing element 10. The optical amplifiers 14 have a gain larger by approximately 10 dB than the loss in the optical loop made of the element 10, optical amplifier 14, element 12 and fiber coupler 16. The other output of the fiber coupler 16 is wavelength-multiplex light containing wavelengths &lgr;1 through &lgr;32.

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:
In an optical fiber transmission line between two terminal stations, an input side wavelength converter for up-shifting a wavelength of a signal light is inserted at a front part of each of the optical amplifiers and an output side wavelength converter for down-shifting a wavelength of a signal light is inserted at a rear step of the optical amplifiers. Signal lights transmit in a wavelength band shorter or longer than the zero dispersion wavelength of the transmission optical fiber on said transmission optical fibers. The input side wavelength converter converts the wavelength of the signal lights from the transmission optical fibers within the amplifying bandwidth of the optical amplifiers and the output side wavelength converter returns the wavelength of the signal lights optically amplified by the optical amplifiers.

An optical access system is disclosed in which subscribers' terminals and optical coupler-splitters of nodes are maintenance-free and required control is effected on the part of the central office alone. At a first position, down-link optical digital signals are generated, which are made "1s" every n bits (n being an integer equal to greater than 2). The optical digital signals, except a train of optical pulses every n bits, are sent as down-link information over a transmission line. At a second position, the optical digital signals, except the optical pulse train, are demodulated from the transmitted down-link optical digital signals, and in an optical gate circuit on which the down-link optical digital signals are incident, up-link optical digital signals based on up-link message data is formed in synchronization with the optical pulses corresponding to every n-th bits and is transmitted to the first position over the transmission line. At the first position, the up-link optical digital signals sent from the second position is received from the transmission line.
摘要:
In an optical wavelength monitoring apparatus for easily monitoring wavelength deviation, light introduced from a laser source 10 to an optical transmission line 12 is divided by directional couplers 14, 20. Optical output of the directional coupler 14 is converted into an electrical signal by a photodiode 16, and logarithmic-amplified by a logarithmic amplifier 18. Optical output of the directional coupler 20 is introduced to a photodiode 26 via an optical filter 24. The optical filter 24 is an optical element whose transmittance decreases as the incident light deviates from a specific wavelength .lambda.a. Optical output from the optical filter 24 is converted into an electrical signal by a photodiode 26, and logarithmic-amplified by a logarithmic amplifier 28. A differential amplifier 30 outputs a difference between outputs of the amplifiers 18, 28. A comparator 32 compares the output of the differential amplifier 30 with an alarm threshold Vref, and outputs an alarm-on signal when the difference is Vref or higher.
