Abstract:
An optical transceiver apparatus includes a gain medium, a photoelectric converter, at least one AWG, and a partial reflection mirror. The at least one AWG includes two common ports and multiple branch ports. One of the two common ports functions as a signal sending port, and the other functions as a signal receiving port, where bandwidth of the signal sending port is less than that of the signal receiving port. The gain medium and the photoelectric converter are connected to one of the branch ports of the AWG. The AWG and the partial reflection mirror are configured to cooperatively perform wavelength self-injection locking on an optical signal provided by the gain medium, and output the optical signal through the signal sending port. The AWG is further configured to demultiplex an optical signal received by the signal receiving port to a branch port. A WDM-PON system is also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method, a device and a system for user authentication on a PON. The method includes the following steps: an OLT receives a user authentication request initiated by an ONU, which carries a password ID; the OLT authenticates according to the user password ID reported by the ONU, and opens or closes a channel from the ONU to the network side according to the authentication result. The invention further discloses a PON and an OLT. According to the method for user authentication in the invention, user management and maintenance of PON may be easier and simpler, and terminal interchangeability and user security may be improved; moreover, after a user changes the ONU, the new ONU may also access the network using the password ID.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is related to a method for monitoring upstream burst performance in a point to multi-point access network. The method comprises: determining the expected time of the upstream data burst from the current terminal end (TE) reaching the head end (HE) using the timeslot assigned to the current TE, monitoring the actual time of the upstream data burst from the current TE reaching the HE, calculating and saving the difference between the expected time and the actual time of the upstream data burst from the current TE reaching the HE; calculating and outputting whether the difference is equal to or exceeds the TE's performance index value for the predetermined monitoring terms. The method provided by the present disclosure may monitor upstream burst performance of the entire network and discover the TEs with potential malfunctions, to effectively improve the network's stability.
