    摘要: A power spectrum measurement system and a method monitor a power spectrum of N-channels in an M-channel wavelength division multiplexed optical communication network, where N is less than or equal to M. An add-drop node in the network drops a channel and adds a channel for transmitting data on the network. The added channel has the same wavelength as the dropped channel. The power of the added channel is controlled to minimize crosstalk. The power spectrum measurement system includes a detection circuit and a processing circuit. The detection circuit is an inexpensive, scalable circuit for detecting the power of each channel. The processing circuit is connected to the detection circuit and calculates the power of each channel based upon the power detected by the detection circuit. The processing circuit also calculates power of the added channel for minimizing crosstalk. The calculated power of the added channel is a function of the powers measured for the N-channels, including but not limited to the average power of the N-channels or the powers of the channels adjacent the added channel. The calculated power is transmitted to the node adding the channel for controlling the power of the added channel.

    摘要: A method and a system in which selected wavelengths of a wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal are modulated with multicast data for multicasting data services on an optical network. The WDM signal is received from a hub node of the optical network, such as a unidirectional ring network or a bi-directional ring network. A four-port wavelength crossbar switch (4WCS) selectably switches selected wavelengths from the optical network to a modulator loop. The modulator loop includes a multicast modulator that modulates the selected plurality of wavelengths with the multicast data. Each modulated wavelength is then switched back to the optical network by the 4WCS switch, and sent to a plurality of subscriber nodes of the optical network. This architecture allows a facility provider to be physically separated from a content provider, and affords the flexibility of selectively delivering multicast content to individual subscribers.

    摘要: An optical telecommunications network suitable for carrying broadcast and switched services. The network includes a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) coupled to a waveguide grating router (WGR). In accordance with the invention, an adjacent input port is connected with the same optical content. Thus, its outputs are adjacent (or wrapped around). According, the optical power in each of the broadcast bands at the outputs remains the same but is reduced by a factor of two in power for each channel but occupying twice as many channels. This has the effect of increasing the SNR by a factor of two.

    摘要: A method and system for detecting intrusions on a fiber optic network. The method and system monitors polarization variations of light being transmitted in the fiber optic network. It then determines intrusions in the fiber optic network based on the polarization variations. The polarization variations are then compared to a database of known activity which would cause polarization variations to determine unknown intrusions. An intrusion alert is initiated when the determined intrusion does not correspond to any known activity. The known activity is contained in an automated database for automatically comparing to the polarization variations. The intrusions may be cross-correlated on two partially adjacent fiber optic cables to determine the location of the intrusion.

    摘要: Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) induced system penalty ε is determined from optical characteristics of an optical wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) signal that is carried on a network. The method involves tapping the optical WDM signal, separating an optical channel from the tapped optical WDM signal, performing a frequency-resolved state of polarization (SOP) measurement on the channel, and computing the PMD-induced system penalty as ε=AL2+BL4, in which A and B are predetermined parameters and L is an SOP string length based on the SOP measurement.
