The diffuser is made from N=2.sup.n light ducts divided into two sets of 1/2N ducts, with every other duct belonging to a different one of the sets. The two sets of ducts are helically wound in opposite directions but at the same helical pitch over a cylinder (1). Each duct in either set crosses over the 1/2N ducts in the other set, and couplers are provided at those cross-overs between any given duct and the 1/2N ducts of the other set having cross-over numbers 2.sup.q, where q=0, 1, 2, . . . , (n-1). The diffuser has stages each comprising 1/2N couplers, with each stage being disposed in a ring around the cylinder.

A photonic switching matrix comprises a plurality of wavelength converters at respective inputs of the matrix to assign a wavelength to each cell applied to an input of the matrix. An optical buffer common to all the outputs of the matrix stores each cell for a duration selectable between 0 and k.T.sub.c where k is an integer and T.sub.c is the duration of cell. A space routing stage comprises a filter for each output of the matrix passing to a given output only cells having a given wavelength. The converters and the buffer are controlled according to routing information indicating for each cell the output of the matrix to which said cell is addressed and for selecting the duration for which each cell is stored in the buffer so as to construct a queue for each output to avoid conflicts between two cells to be switched to the same output presented at the same time as the input of the switching matrix. The switching matrix has applications in telecommunication networks.

An optical wavelength converter has an optical signal input adapted to receive an optical signal whose wavelength is to be converted, an optical signal output adapted to emit an optical signal whose wavelength is the required wavelength, after conversion, and at least one control electrode for applying at least one electrical signal to control the wavelength of the output optical signal. The converter is controlled by a method which comprises a calibration phase for establishing a law linking at least one of said control electrical signals to said required output wavelength and storing said law in a storage device, and an operative phase for addressing said storage device using the required output wavelength and numerical-analog conversion of the data from the storage device addressed in this way for application to said control electrode(s).

A photonic concentrator is used to connect to a telecommunication network subscriber terminals sending and receiving data in the form of fixed length cells using asynchronous time-division multiplexing, in particular on an optical fiber. The concentrator comprises, for processing cells from a subscriber terminal, a time-division and non-synchronous statistical spectral multiplexing stage, a synchronization to a local clock stage, a spectral multiplexing and bit rate converter stage, and a periodic time-division multiplexing stage. To process cells addressed to subscriber terminals it comprises a periodic time-division demultiplexing, spectral multiplexing and bit rate adjuster stage, a bit rate converter stage and a spectral demultiplexing stage. The concentrator has applications in telecommunication networks.

A broadcast center delivers each program in digital form and assembles the digital signals of the programs to constitute a digital multiplex which is conveyed to reception points by radio links or by cables. A program is selected by searching for coinicidence between a user-specified number and a channel number in the digital multiplex. The receiver device comprises an input circuit (1), a synchronization word finding cirucit (2), a bit counter (4), a channel counter (5), a comparator (7), a keyboard (8), first (11) and second (10) registers, a parity check register (13), and a digital to analog converter (14).
摘要:
Switching circuitry for transferring data from an input time-division multiplex system to an output time-division multiplex system includes a transfer circuit for temporarily storing the data received from the input-time-division multiplex system prior to its transfer to the output time-division multiplex system. For controlling the selective transfer of data from an input channel of the input time-division multiplex system to any one output channel of the output time-division multiplex system control circuitry is provided which controls the storage of the input channel data in a selected position of the transfer circuit with a timing corresponding to the respective time slots of the input channel and controls the transfer of that data from the selected position in the transfer circuit to the output time-division multiplex system with a timing corresponding to the respective time slot selected output channel. Write control circuitry stores in a write control memory the selected position in the transfer circuit in a word of the control memory corresponding to the time slot of the input channel in the input time-division multiplex system so that in response to time slots generated by an input time slot generator, the position address of the word in the control memory can be applied to the transfer circuit to control writing of data from the input channel into the transfer circuit in the position selected. Read control circuitry includes a read control memory wherein the selected position in the transfer circuit is stored in a word of that read control memory corresponding to the time slot of the output channel in the output time-division multiplex system so that data in the selected position of the tranfer circuit can be read out to the output time-division multiplex system at the proper time. The read and write control arrangements can also be constituted by elementary control memories connected to elementary inputs or outputs of the input and output multiplex circuitry.
