摘要:
A homodyne optical receiver includes a polarization beam splitter for dividing an optical signal into an optical signal with horizontal polarization and an optical signal with vertical polarization. Optical couplers combine two optical signals of the two polarized components with two optical local signals, which signals are almost matched therewith in polarization, and in a state where they are matched with each other in phase. Detectors homodyne-detect respective output optical signals of the optical couplers and two weighting circuits assign output signals of the detectors weights which are approximately proportional to amplitudes thereof, respectively. An adder adds output signals of the weighting circuits.

An optical frequency division multiplexing transmission system for sending a large volume of information by a single optical fiber is disclosed. Each of an optical frequency division multiplexing transmitter equipment and an optical frequency division multiplexing receiver equipment has an optical filter having a periodic optical transmission characteristic therein. Each optical filter is stabilized with an absolutely-stabilized standard optical frequency. Each optical signal frequency is stabilized to a periodic transmission characteristic of the optical filter arranged in the optical frequency division multiplexing transmitter equipment, and each local frequency to a periodic transmission characteristic of the optical filter arranged in the optical frequency division multiplexing receiver equipment. Even in the case where no optical signal is applied to the optical frequency division multiplexing receiver equipment due to such causes as a fault of the transmission optical source or the breakage of an optical fiber, the local optical source frequency continues to be controlled in stable fashion.

摘要:
In an optical switching apparatus having redundantly-arranged optical switches, a route switching operation mode, an autonomic redundant switching operation mode and a compulsory redundant switching operation mode are discriminated from one another so that these operation modes are prevented from being executed at the same time, and also proper mask processing is performed at every switching operation mode. Therefore, emission of an undesired alarm and thus occurrence of malfunction when each switching operation is carried out can be prevented.

摘要:
An optical communication network system is disclosed, which includes an optical switching apparatus. The optical switching apparatus includes an optical switch for switching and setting routes of an optical signal without being converted, a control unit for instructing the optical switch to execute a route switching operation, and a performance monitor for detecting performance of the optical signal having a route set by the optical switch. The performance monitor issues an alarm when the performance detected is deteriorated from predetermined performance. The control unit includes an alarm masking unit for masking the alarm issued from the performance monitor at least for a predetermined masking period from a starting time of a switching operation by the optical switch, and thus preventing the alarm from being issued.
