摘要:
In the optical communication device and the optical communication system using DPSK modulation whose cost is low, whose size is small and whose power consumption is low, the N:1 multiplexer 125 generates a serial signal by multiplexing a parallel signal coded by the DPSK modulation coding units 115˜117 bit by bit on a time division basis. The electric-phase modulation optical converter 127 converts a serial signal into a phase modulation light. The N-bit delay interferometer 132 executes DPSK decoding with respect to a phase modulation light by comparison with an N-bit preceding optical signal. The optical-electric signal converter 134 converts a decoded intensity modulation light into an electric signal. The N:1 demultiplexer 136 divides an electric signal converted by the optical-electric signal converter 134 into a number N of signals bit by bit on a time division basis.
摘要:
A signal quality monitoring method with reliability is disclosed. After extracting a clock signal from the light signal, a decision region is set for each bit of the light signal. The decision region is defined by a plurality of threshold amplitudes corresponding respectively to threshold phases which are produced with respect to the clock signal. The quality of the light signal is monitored depending on whether an amplitude of the light signal falls into the decision region at timings of the N threshold phases.

摘要:
The present invention is intended to provide an optical transmission system which is applicable not only to a known signal but also to an unknown signal, and has a high reliability at a low cost. A branching device branches an optical transmission output of a transmitter, and transmits the branched signals through different optical transmission channels. A polarization mode dispersion monitor monitors the degree of polarization mode dispersion from the optical transmission channels at the receiving end. A switch control circuit and a switch select a signal which is less affected by a deterioration in quality due to polarization mode dispersion, and outputs the selected signal to receiver 8. In this way, the probability of a deterioration in the quality of a signal due to polarization mode dispersion can be reduced for a transmission signal.

The present invention provides a light receiving apparatus using the DQPSK demodulation method. The light receiving apparatus comprises: one Mach-Zehnder interferometer for branching a received light signal into light signals at two arms to allow the branched two light signals to interfere with each other; one balanced photoelectric converter for converting the two interfered light signals, by using the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, into an electric signal corresponding to a difference between light intensities of the two light signals; and a phase adjuster for dynamically shifting the phase of a light signal passed through one of the two arms at the Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
摘要:
In an optical signal monitoring method in wavelength multiplexing and an optical network, an area corresponding to a characteristic pattern of an eye pattern of an optical signal to be monitored, which characterizes a deterioration, is extracted from a database storing a map which associates a quality deterioration factor and deterioration amount of the optical signal with the characteristic pattern of the area of the eye pattern of the optical signal. The extracted pattern is collated with the map stored in the database to monitor the quality deterioration factor and deterioration amount of the optical signal, an occurrence time of a deterioration, duration of a deterioration, a deterioration occurrence cycle, and a deterioration duration cycle. An optical signal monitoring apparatus is also disclosed.
摘要:
Multiple working paths are established on each working rings and multiple protection paths are established on each of multiple protection rings. A working path on a first working ring spans across first and second nodes for signal transmission in a first direction of the ring, and a working path on a second working ring spans across the first and second nodes for signal transmission in a second, opposite direction of the ring. A protection path on a first protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for signal transmission in said second direction, and a protection path on a second protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for signal transmission in said first direction. The first and second nodes normally use the working paths, respectively. When one of the working paths fails, the first and second nodes use a corresponding protection path.
摘要:
In a ring topology network, a number of nodes interconnect transmission links to form first and second working rings and first and second optical protection rings in a ring topology. Multiple working paths are established on each working ring and multiple protection paths are established on each protection ring corresponding to the working paths. A first working path spans across first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in a first direction of the ring topology, and a second working path of the second working rings spans across the first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in a second direction of the ring topology opposite to the first direction. A first protection path on the first protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in the second direction of the ring topology, and a second protection path of the second protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in the first direction of the ring topology. The first and second nodes normally use the first and second working paths, respectively. Responsive to a failure of one of the first and second working paths, the first and second nodes use a corresponding one of the first and second protection paths, instead of the failed working path.
