    摘要: It is the object of the present invention to provide a transmission system that transmits a control signal corresponding to the overhead accommodating time division multiplexing information at a frequency that is the same (or nearly the same) as that of the main signal. In order to attain this object, an optical transmitter broadens in a time range the optical waveform of the OTDM signal having a wavelength &lgr;0 and the control light having a wavelength &lgr;1(≈&lgr;0), and multiplexes the signal light having an optical peak intensity set low compared to the OTDM signal peak intensity and sending this to an optical transmission fiber. An optical receiver provides a light splitting means that splits into two parts the transmitted OTDM signal and the control light and outputs one part thereof to an optical time division multiplexing means, and at the same time restores the control light included in the other part of the light to the original optical pulse train, and extracts the control information by converting this to an electric signal.

    摘要: An optical signal quality monitoring system is provided, by which the quality of optical signals can be examined using a single monitoring system, not depending on the bit rate of each signal. In the system, an optical signal having a bit rate N·f0, that is, N times as much as basic clock frequency f0, is sampled by using a pulse repetition frequency f0/n1−&Dgr;f or f0/n1+&Dgr;f where n1 is a predetermined natural number and the pulse repetition frequency slightly differs from f0/n1 by &Dgr;f, and an amplitude histogram of the optical signal is determined based on results of the sampling. Regarding the sampling points which constitute the histogram, a set of higher-level points and a set of lower-level points are extracted and a ratio of a difference between an average level of the set of higher-level points within a predetermined period and an average level of the set of lower-level points within a predetermined period, to the sum of standard deviations of both sets within each predetermined period is calculated as a coefficient of the S/N, and the quality of the optical signal is examined based on the coefficient. By performing optical sampling, quality of optical signals having bit rates of a few dozen Gbit/s or more can be monitored.

    摘要: A first tunable wavelength pulse light source is driven by a reference signal to emit a first optical pulse. An optical demultiplexer demultiplexes a first optical pulse emitted from the first pulse light source into a reference optical pulse and an incident optical pulse to be sent into an object to be measured. An optical multiplexer multiplexes the reference optical pulse and an outgoing optical pulse passing through the object to output multiplexed light. A second pulse light source generates a second optical pulse which is synchronous with the first optical pulse and delays a predetermined time for each period of the first optical pulse. A sampling unit receives the multiplexed light and the second optical pulse to obtain an optical pulse train signal proportional to the intensity of the multiplexed light obtained in synchronism with the second optical pulse. From the optical pulse train signal from the sampling unit, a signal processor obtains an envelope formed by peaks of individual optical pulses forming the optical pulse train. The wavelength dispersion of the object is obtained by measuring the delay time of the outgoing optical pulse passing through the object on the basis of intervals between the peaks of the envelope.

    摘要: In an optical transmission system applicable to a SDH network, communication between two line terminating equipments is performed in a form of a STM frame composed of a SOH field and a payload, which is determined by CCITT recommendations. The line terminating equipment provides a FEC circuit which is preferably arranged at a location between MSP and MST function blocks. The FEC circuit is designed to perform coding/decoding operations, using a cyclic Hamming code, directly on each AU-4 message derived from the STM frame. Otherwise, the FEC circuit performs operations on each k-bit interleaved AU-4 message (where `k` is an integer larger than 1). Check bits generated by a FEC coding circuit are written into undefined byte areas in a MSOH field, and error correcting is performed at a decoder circuit on the basis of embedded check bits, therefore FEC operations are performed within a multiplex-section layer. A FEC processing circuit is constituted by shift registers each of which is connected by exclusive-or logic so as to execute FEC processing calculation generating a remainder by a generator polynomial. For a FEC code on direct AU-4 message, the FEC processing circuit in parallel configuration for lowering an operational clock rate is determined by a matrix form calculation, which creates an output vector indicating a set of shift registers' data in a future clock timing from an input vector consisting of data stream in message and initial shift registers' values.

    摘要: A hitless path switching method without a bit loss. The same digital line signals on a working path and a protection path are continuously monitored independently for bit errors. If a bit error occurs in the working path and no bit error occurs in the protection path, a switching trigger is produced and a switching operation from the working path to the protection path is performed on a data block basis. Only correct data are transferred to downstream apparatuses. Reliable hitless switching is achieved not only in response to a failure in a path, but also in response to a bit error. Using data blocks of one frame length with an indicator for bit error checking placed at its beginning or top makes effective switching possible.
