    摘要: Disclosed herein is an optical modulator including an optical waveguide structure for converting an input beam into first and second output beams, an electrode for applying an electric field to the optical waveguide structure, so as to switch between a first mode where the input beam is converted into the first output beam and a second mode where the input beam is converted into the second output beam, first and second photodetectors for detecting the powers of the first and second output beams, respectively, and a bias circuit for applying a bias to the electrode so that the ratio in output level between the first and second photodetectors becomes constant. With this configuration, an operation point can be stabilized without the need for superimposition of a low-frequency signal, thereby suppressing intersymbol interference.

    摘要: An optical demultiplexer comprises a clock regenerating circuit for regenerating a clock signal for each optical signal channel from an optical multiplexed signal. An optical switch separates each optical signal channel from the optical multiplexed signal in accordance with the clock signal regenerated by the clock regenerating circuit. An identification information extraction circuit extracts identification information contained in each optical signal channel separated by the optical switch. A control circuit changes output destinations so that each optical signal channel is output to a designated destination in accordance with the identification information extracted by the identification information extraction circuit. The identification information is appended as identification data to a data signal represented by the optical signal, and the identification information extraction circuit extracts the identification data contained in the data signal reconstructed from each optical signal channel. A signal switching circuit is provided between outputs of the optical switch and output destinations, wherein the control circuit changes output destinations by changing connection relationships in the signal switching circuit between the outputs of the optical switch and the output destinations, for example, by changing the phase of the clock signal supplied to the optical switch.

    摘要: An optical wavelength multiplex transmission method uses a band around a zero dispersion wavelength of an optical fiber to compensate for waveform degradation, which is produced by a synergetic effect of self phase modulation and chromatic dispersion, to increase transmission distance and transmission rate in optical systems. The optical dispersion compensation method is performed in an optical system including a transmitter, a repeater and a receiver, which collectively transmit and receive optical information along the optical fiber. Light is transmitted within a transmissible band which is defined by an allowable dispersion value determined from a synergetic effect of self phase modulation and group velocity dispersion in the optical fiber. The transmissible band is set on a shorter wavelength side than a shorter wavelength end .lambda..theta.-.DELTA..lambda..theta. or on a longer wavelength side than a longer wavelength end .lambda..theta.+.DELTA..lambda..theta. of the zero-dispersion wavelength deviation range of the optical fiber. The zero dispersion wavelength .DELTA..theta. the optical fiber is shifted to apparently arranged the signal light into the transmissible band to compensate for the dispersion amount of the optical transmission system.

    摘要: According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method of modulating supervisory data onto an optical signal includes receiving supervisory data and adjusting a characteristic of a carrier of the optical signal for at least one of a first polarization component of the optical signal and a second polarization component of the optical signal based on the received supervisory data. The characteristic may be adjusted such that there is a relative difference between the characteristic for the first polarization component and the second polarization component. The relative difference of the characteristic between the first polarization component and the second polarization component may indicate the supervisory data. Alternately, the characteristic may be adjusted such that there is a change in a polarization orientation of the carrier on a Poincaré sphere that indicates the supervisory data.
