摘要:
The emission frequencies (F(1) . . . F(2P)) used for simultaneous communications form a stack extending from a fixed based frequency (F(0)) to a top of stack frequency (F(2P-1), F(2-P)). At the beginning of each call, the emission frequency (F(2P-1)) used for the call is at the top of the stack. During the call, said emission frequency is maintained by being servo-controlled to a predetermined spectrum distance (DF) beyond a lower support frequency (F(2P-2)) providing such a frequency can be detected. When such a frequency cannot be detected, the emission frequency is shifted progressively towards the base frequency. The invention is particularly applicable to communications between the peripherals of computer systems.

In a method of the invention an emission wave (F(2P-1)) which is to be positioned within the spectrum relative to an external wave (F(2P-2)B) is modulated. Said external wave is mixed with one of the side waves that results from said modulation (F(2P-1)A) and the emission wave is positioned in response to variations in the frequency of a beat signal (F(2P-2)BE) that results from said mixing. The invention applies in particular to implementing an optical fiber communications network.

In an optical frequency marking method and a frequency channel communication network using this method, an optical reference frequency is scanned across a scanning band to produce frequency coincidences with a monitored frequency which constitutes the frequency to be marked. During each scanning half-cycle it effects a go path and a return path according to a known law to produce a go frequency coincidence and a return frequency coincidence. A marker interval is measured which is the time elapsed between said two coincidences. This interval marks the monitored frequency and enables said frequency to be locked by comparison with a set point interval. The invention finds a particular application in the marking and stabilization of carrier frequencies of a closely-spaced different frequency channel network.

According to the invention, messages to be transmitted between user terminals interconnected by a transmission network are classified into "heavyweight" messages and "lightweight" messages. The heavyweight messages, i.e. messages containing a large quantity of data, are transmitted over the network in message frequency channels attributed to respective heavyweight messages, while the lightweight messages are transmitted over a shared channel common to the lightweight messages.

To simplify the connection protocols of an optical communication network using wavelength division multiplexing and to increase the throughput of the network, each node sends messages on a specific wavelength and associates destination labels with them. A network controller receives the messages and the labels and forwards the messages on the receive wavelength of their destination node(s). Applications include local area networks.

Logic operations are carried out on binary optical signals using a non-linear optical amplifier having a front port and a rear port respectively receiving a front wave and a modulated rear wave. The output wave via the rear port is separated from the rear wave by exploiting the fact that they have opposite propagation directions. Applications include optical data switching and transmission.

A multiplexer and a demultiplexer time-division multiplex and demultiplex binary data in the form of cells having a fixed number of bits. For example, to time-division multiplex cells comprising 424 bits the original bit rate of a block of 16 bits of a cell is multiplied by four, each cell being divided into a series of 27 blocks. The blocks constituting each cell are concatenated after their bit rate has been multiplied. Similarly, the demultiplexer divides the bit rate by dividing each cell into blocks, separating consecutive blocks by a gap and dividing the bit rate successively in each block. The multiplexer and demultiplexer have applications in time-division multiplex telecommunication networks.

An asynchronous time-division multiplex optical communication system comprises: a switching network, user transmitter circuits, user receiver circuits and broadcast servers connected by optical lines to the switching network. The switching network comprises an optical spectro-time-division switching network, a control processor unit and a clock unit. The spectro-time-division switching network is connected optically to the user transmitter circuits, to the user receiver circuits, to the broadcast servers and to control transmitter, signalling transmitter, control receiver and signalling receiver circuits of the control processor unit. The clock unit is connected by a first line to the switching network and by a second line to the control processor unit which is connected by a control bus to the spectro-time-division switching network. The system uses conjointly a first set of optical frequencies for transmission and a second set optical frequencies for switching.
