    摘要: An optical fiber transmitter, which consists of a modulated optical source, a pre-distortion circuit, a chirped-fiber grating, an optical circulator or a coupler, is designed to transport subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) signals over a long transmission distance. Here the SCM signals include: analog amplitude-modulated vestigial-sideband (AM-VSB) cable television signals, digital quadrature-amplitude-modulated (QAM) signals, or orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexed (OFDM) signals, or quadrature-phase-shift-keyed (QPSK) signals, etc. on radio-frequency (RF) or microwave carriers, and/or digital wireless signals on RF, microwave or millimeter wave carriers. The modulated light source can be a directly modulated laser diode, or an external LiNbO3 modulator with a continuous wave (CW) laser diode as the source, or an external electro-absorption modulator with an integrated CW laser diode. The chirped fiber grating has a chromatic dispersion characteristic which is opposite to that of the output transmission path, so that the majority of nonlinear distortions and carrier suppression caused by the optical fiber dispersion in a long-distance system can be significantly reduced. The pre-distortion circuit is used to correct the residual nonlinear distortions and eliminate the residual carrier suppression effect, which cannot be completely eliminated by the chirped fiber grating. The pre-distortion circuit is also used to suppress the residual nonlinear distortions and carrier suppression effects caused by the chirped fiber grating itself.

    摘要: An optical signaling header technique applicable to optical networks wherein packet routing information is embedded in the same channel or wavelength as the data payload so that both the header and data payload propagate through network elements with the same path and the associated delays. The header routing information has sufficiently different characteristics from the data payload so that the signaling header can be detected without being affected by the data payload, and that the signaling header can also be removed without affecting the data payload. The signal routing technique can overlaid onto the conventional network elements in a modular manner using two types of applique modules. The first type effects header encoding and decoding at the entry and exit points of the data payload into and out of the network; the second type effects header detection at each of the network elements.

    摘要: A medium-access protocol is disclosed for use in a communication network to provide a two-way broadband communication network. The communication network comprises a central network controller (CNC) and a plurality of user nodes, and the protocol comprises the steps of: (a) providing an RF modulator and a receiver tuner for each of the user nodes; (b) allocating a plurality of vacant CATV channel for the CNC, each channel being assigned a separate frequency band; (c) causing a first user node, which intents to communicate with a second user node, to send a request-to-communicate signal to the CNC via a first frequency band centered at first frequency, the first user node having a first RF modulator and a first receiver tuner, and the second user node having a second RF modulator and a second receiver tuner; (d) causing the CNC to send a checking signal to the second user via a second frequency band centered at second frequency to see whether the second user is busy; (e) if the second user is not busy, then causing the CNC to assign a third frequency band centered at a third carrier frequency to the first RF modulator provided for the first user node and a fourth frequency band centered at a fourth carrier frequency to the second RF modulator provided for the first user node, and tuning the first receiver tuner to the fourth carrier frequency and tuning the second receiver tuner to the third carrier frequency; and (f) causing the first user node and the second user node to communicate via the third and fourth frequency bands. With this protocol, about 600 (analog) to 10,000 (digital) pairs of users can be allowed to communicate with each other at the same time. A security checking procedure can be provided by: (a) roll-call polling each user node to check a status thereof; and (b) warning a network manager if no response is received from any of the user nodes within a predetermined period of time.

    摘要: In a system for distributing CATV signals to multiple customer locations, each location is connected to a remote terminal via a dedicated optical fiber. The tuner associated with each customer TV set is located in the remote terminal. Channel-selection signals are sent over the fiber from the customer location to the remote terminal. Only the single selected channel is then transmitted over the fiber from the remote terminal to the associated TV set.
