Abstract:
Disclosed herein are an optical network unit and a method for controlling the unit. In a passive optical network system, an optical transceiver of the optical network unit performs a wavelength change of an optical signal according to a wavelength setting command transferred from a media access control (MAC) unit and monitors a wavelength change state and reports the monitored wavelength change state to the MAC unit. When the wavelength malfunction occurs, the MAC unit blocks an uplink optical transmission of the optical transceiver.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for testing an optical fiber in an optical distribution network, the apparatus being capable of synthetically testing an optical fiber by using a plurality of optical pulse signals. The apparatus includes a transmitter configured to transmit a first and a second optical pulse signal to an optical fiber connected to optical network units (ONU) through a coupler, and a receiver configured to receive, from the coupler, a first received optical pulse signal and a second received optical pulse signal The apparatus includes an analog to digital (A/D) converter configured to generate first and second received optical signals according to received intensities of the first and second received optical pulse signals to convert the first and second received optical signals into first and second digital received optical data, and a processor configured to process the first and second digital received optical data to generate a scale domain response to perform image visualization and optical fiber state analysis to monitor the optical fiber.
