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:
A signal quality monitoring method with reliability is disclosed. After extracting a clock signal from the light signal, a decision region is set for each bit of the light signal. The decision region is defined by a plurality of threshold amplitudes corresponding respectively to threshold phases which are produced with respect to the clock signal. The quality of the light signal is monitored depending on whether an amplitude of the light signal falls into the decision region at timings of the N threshold phases.

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.

An optical ring system having: a wavelength demultiplexer to which wavelength-multiplexed optical signal to be sent through an optical fiber from a previous node of multiple nodes is input and in which optical signal with each wavelength assigned to itself is demultiplexed; an optical ring device which is disposed in a predetermined node of the multiple nodes to the each wavelength assigned and which is composed of a failure existence judging part which terminates an overhead of each optical signal with a wavelength demultiplexed by the wavelength demultiplexer and judges whether a failure occurs in regard to a wavelength in a previous section through which optical signal with the assigned wavelength is sent, and a switching part which, when the failure existence judging means determines the occurrence of failure, selects a path that allows optical signal with the wavelength to be transmitted to the previous node while avoiding the previous section incurring the failure; and a wavelength multiplexer which multiplexes optical signal to be output from the optical ring part and then outputs it to an optical fiber connected to a next node.

The present invention provides a light receiving apparatus using the DQPSK demodulation method. The light receiving apparatus comprises: one Mach-Zehnder interferometer for branching a received light signal into light signals at two arms to allow the branched two light signals to interfere with each other; one balanced photoelectric converter for converting the two interfered light signals, by using the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, into an electric signal corresponding to a difference between light intensities of the two light signals; and a phase adjuster for dynamically shifting the phase of a light signal passed through one of the two arms at the Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

In the optical communication device and the optical communication system using DPSK modulation whose cost is low, whose size is small and whose power consumption is low, the N:1 multiplexer 125 generates a serial signal by multiplexing a parallel signal coded by the DPSK modulation coding units 115˜117 bit by bit on a time division basis. The electric-phase modulation optical converter 127 converts a serial signal into a phase modulation light. The N-bit delay interferometer 132 executes DPSK decoding with respect to a phase modulation light by comparison with an N-bit preceding optical signal. The optical-electric signal converter 134 converts a decoded intensity modulation light into an electric signal. The N:1 demultiplexer 136 divides an electric signal converted by the optical-electric signal converter 134 into a number N of signals bit by bit on a time division basis.
