An optical one-to-one protection switching apparatus exchanges signals between a transmit node and a receive node. If a fault is detected in the first transmission line (down-stream), a controller in the node controls a drive circuit so as to shut off a gate. Then, the controller in the transmit node upon receiving a switching request from the receive node, controls the drive circuit so as to shut off the gate. Thereby, the optical switch is switched. The transmitter of the client terminal is thus connected to the second transmission line (down-stream). Upon receiving the switching request from the transmit node, the optical switch in the receive node is switched. Thereby the receiver in the client terminal is connected to the second transmission line (down-stream).

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.

A system for stabilizing a frequency separation between two coherent light sources includes first and second current sources driving first and second semiconductor laser devices with first and second frequencies, respectively. Light from the semiconductor laser devices is combined in a multiplexer, and a portion the combined light is diverted to an optical-to-electrical transducer. Output current from the transducer is combined with an output of a local oscillator driven at a selected frequency. A combined signal is then filtered, and used to form a control signal of one of the semiconductor laser devices.
摘要:
A unipolar original electrical signal is encoded by alternate mark inversion and combined with a DC bias current for injection of a semiconductor laser to produce a bipolar FSK optical signal that is transmitted to a receiver. At the receiver, the received signal is coupled with optical local power and fed to an optical/electrical transducer, preferably a semiconductor, to produce an electrical signal that is demodulated to produce the original unipolar signal. The demodulator may be of different types, for example employing delaying part of the amplified electrical signal and mixing the delayed part with the original signal for passage of the combined signal through a low pass filter; with proper selection of the delay, an AMI decoder is not needed. The demodulator may also be of the type that has one or more band pass filters to respectively separate the positive mark, space and negative mark signals that may thereafter be added. Filtering and polarization beam splitting may also be used in the demodulator for improving the signal-to-noise ratio and preventing other types of degradation.
