An apparatus and method for effectively transmitting a packet data and a control data of path information about the packet data in an optical packet data switching network. The method includes grouping a plurality of wavelengths into at least two wavelength bandwidths, each wavelength bandwidth being composed of neighboring wavelengths, and transmitting the optical packet data and the control data with wavelengths of different wavelength bandwidths respectively. Since the wavelength to transmit the optical packet data and the wavelength to transmit the control data has a difference from each other, a node receiving optical data easily divides the packet data and the control data.

Provided is an apparatus for transferring optical data in an optical switching system using time synchronization. The apparatus performs time synchronization on optical data to input the optical data at regular intervals through fiber delay line for time synchronization respectively disposed on input ports. Therefore, the apparatus can efficiently reduce a data blocking rate in comparison with a conventional optical switching system using an asynchronous electric buffer without a synchronous process, and achieve the same performance as conventional asynchronous technology despite using fewer wavelength converters and buffers, thus reducing system cost. In addition, using dynamic time synchronization modules, the apparatus performs time synchronization for minute time variation due to an environment such as temperature.

The downstream transmitter multiplexes and transmits downstream optical signals in a time region. The upstream receiver de-multiplexes, in a wavelength region, an upstream optical signal. An optical network unit has a downstream receiver and an upstream transmitter, where the downstream receiver de-multiplexes, in the time region, the downstream optical signals from the central office.

The optical distributor distributes the downstream optical signals from the central office. The wavelength division multiplexer multiplexes, in the wavelength region, the upstream optical signal from each optical network unit.

Apparatuses and methods are provided which suppress a surge component occurring at an optical amplifier on an optical path through which an optical burst signal is transmitted. An optical amplifier may experience a surge due to the power variation of the optical burst signal that is fed to the optical amplifier. To suppress such a surge component, a power corresponding to a number of wavelengths of an optical burst signal to be input is calculated. The optical amplifier is instructed to generate an optical signal with a power corresponding to a difference between a set value and the calculated power. The generated optical signal and the optical burst signal to be input are coupled and output according to the instruction. Thus, the optical amplifier can receive the optical signal with the constant power and the surge component at the optical amplifier can be suppressed.

摘要:
A method and a system are disclosed for reducing four-wave mixing (FWM) penalties in an optical transmission network. The FWM penalties are reduced by simultaneously and periodically modulating the phase of the optical signals propagating through a long fiber waveguide at a modulation frequency that causes destructive interference of the FWM products that are otherwise generated along the length of the long fiber waveguide. The method may be implemented in an optical transmitter for an optical transmission network by providing a phase modulator between the multiplexer and an optical boost amplifier so as to simultaneously modulate the phase of all the optical signals that are transmitted through the long fiber waveguide. Alternatively, a phase modulator may be disposed between each source of modulated optical signals and the multiplexer so as to separately modulate the phase of all the optical signals that are subsequently transmitted through the long fiber waveguide.
