    摘要: A protection switch comprising a demultiplexer, optical selector, a multiplexer, and a monitor circuit is provided on the input side and the output side of an optical XC node. The demultiplexer demultiplexes the wavelength-multiplexed optical signals of a 0-system and a 1-system, and transmits these optical signals to the optical selectors which are provided for the respective wavelengths. The optical selectors are controlled by the monitor circuit, and switch the optical signal of one system to that of the other system when a fault occurs. The optical signals of the respective wavelengths outputted from the optical selectors are multiplexed by a multiplexer to be transmitted. The demultiplexer and the multiplexer can be differently arranged depending on the configuration of a transmission line or the optical XC node. Further, a multi-wavelength selection filter such as an acousto-optical filter or the like can be used as a protection switch.

    摘要: In an optical cross connect apparatus, an optical multiplexing/distributing section wavelength-multiplexes optical signals of wavelengths after routing by an optical input switch section and distributively outputs the resultant multiplexed optical signal as input optical signals to an optical output switch section. In addition, an optical wavelength selecting section conducts wavelength selection processing so that, of the resultant multiplexed optical signal, an optical signal of a desired wavelength is outputted to an output port. With this configuration, it is possible to economically offer an optical cross connect apparatus having an excellent extensibility on a change (particularly, an increase) of the number of wavelengths to be accommodated per port.

    摘要: In addition to the configuration of a conventional optical XC node, a former-stage regenerator for converting optical signals to electrical signals and regenerating optical signals again is provided at an output stage of a demultiplexer and at the input stage of an optical switch unit. Since the regenerator has a 3R function, the regenerator compensates for the influence of the noise and crosstalk generated during propagation in the transmission line, and improves the S/N ratio of the optical signals. Since the optical signals with S/N ratios improved in this way are inputted to the optical switch unit, it is sufficient only if a latter-stage regenerator compensates for the S/N ratio degradation generated in the optical switch unit, and thereby the error rate characteristic of the optical signals can be improved.

    摘要: In an optical switch comprising a plurality of input ports and output ports, and performing a path establishment between the input ports and output ports, interception means intercept an optical signal inputted to the optical switch during a path switchover. Alternatively, a controller of the optical switch controls input movable mirrors, during the path switchover, so as to prevent optical signals deflected by movable mirrors from being outputted to all of the output ports except an output port for a new path establishment, e.g. during a path switchover, so that optical signals reflected by the input movable mirrors may not be entered into other output movable mirrors except an output movable mirror necessary for a new path establishment. Alternatively, the output movable mirrors of the optical switch are separated into a plurality of areas to be arranged, and are arranged in each area so that the path switchover between two output movable mirrors is performed without the optical signal crossing other output movable mirrors.

    摘要: If an optical switch unit configuring an optical switch is implemented by a three-stage circuit, optical amplifiers are arranged on the input and output sides of an optical space switch in a first stage, and the optical space switch and the optical amplifiers on both of the input and output sides are used as an expansion unit for expanding a switching capacity. Similarly, optical amplifiers are arranged on input and output sides of an optical space switch in a third stage, and the optical space switch and the optical amplifiers on both of the input and output sides are used as an expansion unit for expanding a switching capacity. Accordingly, there is no need to arrange extra optical amplifiers even at an initial setting when only part of a maximum switching capacity is used, thereby reducing an initial investment.
