摘要:
An optical amplifying apparatus of the present invention comprises a correction part for correcting a predetermined fixed value of an output optical level by a correction amount according to an optical power of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). The correction amount is, for example, computed by predetermined formulas. According to the present invention, when a WDM optical signal is optically amplified, the output is fixedly amplified for each channel by the correction amount which is a value obtained with the ASE levels taken into consideration, so that a fluctuation in the level of the average optical power of the channels is suppressed even if an optical signal is dropped/added therefrom/thereto during repeated transmissions.

In a method of measuring an optical signal-to-noise ratio according to the present invention, a partial optical signal-to-noise ratio is defined, the partial optical signal-to-noise ratio is calculated from a predetermined physical quantity, the sum of inverse numbers of the partial optical signal-to-noise ratios is calculated, and further an inverse number of the sum is calculated to acquire an optical signal-to-noise ratio. The present invention makes it possible to measure optical SNR without directly measuring ASE in the optical signal. The present invention provides a measuring apparatus, a measuring circuit, a pre-emphasis method, an optical communication system, and a controlling apparatus each utilizing this method.
摘要:
An optical amplifying apparatus for widening the input dynamic range and lowering noises. The optical amplifying apparatus comprises a first optical amplifier, an optical attenuator, a second optical amplifier and a controller. The first optical amplifier changes the target value of output light when the variance amount of input light reaches a predetermined value. The controller changes the attenuation amount of attenuator in accordance with a difference between the target value and the changed target value of the output light level of the first optical amplifier, when the target value of the output light level of the first optical amplifier is changed.

The invention provides a technique for optimizing transmission conditions to achieve large-capacity transmission, and also provides peripheral techniques for the practical implementation of optical multiplexing that makes large-capacity transmission possible. A transmission characteristic is measured in a transmission characteristic measuring section, and control of signal light wavelength in a tunable light source, control of the amount of prechirping, control of the amount of dispersion compensation, and/or control of optical power are performed to achieve the best transmission characteristic. Wavelength dispersion is deliberately introduced by a dispersion compensator, to reduce nonlinear effects. A tunable laser is used to optimize signal light wavelength for each optical amplification repeater section. Peripheral techniques, such as drift compensation, clock extraction, optical signal channel identification, clock phase stabilization, etc., are provided for the implementation of optical multiplexing.
