摘要： Multiple working paths are established on each working rings and multiple protection paths are established on each of multiple protection rings. A working path on a first working ring spans across first and second nodes for signal transmission in a first direction of the ring, and a working path on a second working ring spans across the first and second nodes for signal transmission in a second, opposite direction of the ring. A protection path on a first protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for signal transmission in said second direction, and a protection path on a second protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for signal transmission in said first direction. The first and second nodes normally use the working paths, respectively. When one of the working paths fails, the first and second nodes use a corresponding protection path.

摘要： In a ring topology network, a number of nodes interconnect transmission links to form first and second working rings and first and second optical protection rings in a ring topology. Multiple working paths are established on each working ring and multiple protection paths are established on each protection ring corresponding to the working paths. A first working path spans across first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in a first direction of the ring topology, and a second working path of the second working rings spans across the first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in a second direction of the ring topology opposite to the first direction. A first protection path on the first protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in the second direction of the ring topology, and a second protection path of the second protection ring spans across the first and second nodes for transmission of a signal in the first direction of the ring topology. The first and second nodes normally use the first and second working paths, respectively. Responsive to a failure of one of the first and second working paths, the first and second nodes use a corresponding one of the first and second protection paths, instead of the failed working path.

摘要： An optical wavelength division coupler 11 wavelength-divides a wavelength multiplexed light to respective wavelength lights each of which is dropped to an optical gate switch 15-i (i=1˜n) and a light receiver 13-i by an optical coupler 12-i and supplied to an optical light fault monitor 14 through the light receiver 13-i. When the optical signal deterioration monitor 14 detects an optical loss of wavelength (OLOW), an optical loss of signal (OLOS) or an optical signal degrade (OSD) in wavelength lights processed by the optical coupler 12-i as a fault detection signal in an optical layer, a controller 19 controls the optical gate switch 15-i to cut off wavelength light passing therethrough and sends an optical alarm indication signal (AIS-O) to a downstream side. Therefore, when a loss of signal is detected by the light receiver 13-i, the optical signal deterioration monitor 14 can know the alarm indication signal (AIS) from the upstream side, removing the necessity of special hardware therefor.

摘要： Disclosed is an optical switch for transmitting or shutting down an input light signal in accordance with a set switching state. The optical switch comprises first and second optical amplifiers connected in cascade. When an optical fiber amplifier comprising EDFs (11 and 12) and pumping sources (31 and 32) is used as the first and second optical amplifiers, the switching is accomplished by switching on or off the pumping sources (31 and 32) in accordance with control signals supplied from a control circuit (300). One input light signal can be dropped through a first optical branch (51) located on the input side of the optical switch, while another input light signal can be added through a second optical branch (53).
