摘要： An optical time-domain reflectometer, OTDR, apparatus is configured to measure a backscattered trace of a fiber link under test (FLUT). The OTDR apparatus includes at least one photo diode adapted to detect an optical signal reflected from points along the fiber link under test in response to an optical test signal generated by a laser of the OTDR apparatus and supplied to the fiber link under test. The reflected optical test signal is attenuated or amplified automatically such that the power of the optical signal received by the photodiode is limited to a predetermined power range.

摘要： A method for tuning a tunable optical transmitter to a target wavelength includes applying at least one tuning signal to the tunable optical transmitter to control the tunable optical transmitter to create an optical calibration signal according to nominal tuning information for the tunable optical transmitter. The optical calibration signal has a wavelength lying within a secure wavelength range, and the nominal tuning information is based on a nominal wavelength dependency for the tunable optical transmitter. The method also includes measuring a deviation between an actual wavelength dependency of the tunable optical transmitter and the nominal wavelength dependency, and determining calibration information based on that deviation. The calibration information is applied to determine a corrected nominal wavelength dependency from which target tuning information is determined. The tunable optical transmitter is controlled to create an optical channel signal according to the target tuning information.

摘要： Arrangement for transmitting an optical digital WDM signal over an optical transmission link or a passive optical network, the signal (SWDM) including N optical channels matching a given optical frequency grid. The scheme includes supplying the WDM signal (SWDM) to a near end of the optical transmission link or a near end of the passive optical network; receiving the WDM signal (SWDM) at a far end of the optical transmission link or at one or more far ends of the passive optical network; separating the optical channel signals (si(t)) by splitting and bandpass filtering the WDM signal (SWDM) received; and converting the optical channel signals (si(t)) into electrical channel signals using direct optical detection. The signal (SWDM) is created such that neighboring channel signals (si(t)) are orthogonally polarized and are conditioned with specific pre-distortion.

摘要： The invention relates to a method for interrogating at least one optical sensor that is provided within or connected to an optical path at a sensor position, the optical path connecting the optical sensor to a near end of the optical path. The at least one optical sensor has a known frequency-dependent course of its reflectivity that is changed by a physical parameter to be sensed, especially the temperature or humidity of the environment surrounding the at least one optical sensor or the pressure being exerted onto the at least one optical sensor. The method includes the steps of: feeding at least two optical probe signals having differing optical center frequencies to the near end of the optical path, where the at least two optical probe signals are time-shifted versus each other in a predetermined manner when being fed to the near end of the optical path, or where a predetermined time shift between the at least two optical probe signals or corresponding optical reflection signals is introduced within the optical path or within an optical receiver using a chromatic dispersion generating component; detecting reflected optical power portions of the at least two probe signals (optical reflection signals) created by the at least one optical sensor depending on its frequency-dependent course of the reflectivity and the optical frequencies of the at least two optical probe signals, assigning each optical reflection signal detected to one of the at least one optical sensor and assigning the correct optical frequency to each optical reflection signal detected using a known round-trip delay of the at least two optical probe signals between the near end and the respective sensor position and/or using the time shift relation between the at least two optical probe signals; and determining an absolute value or a value range or a change of a value or value range of the parameter to be sensed from the presence of one or more of the optical reflection signals or the maximum optical power or the optical energy thereof, from the frequency-dependent course of the reflectivity of the at least one optical sensor and its dependency on the parameter to be sensed, and from the optical frequency of each of the optical reflection signals detected or from one or more dependencies that link these physical conditions.
