    摘要: A efficient and inexpensive optical WDM network architecture with add and drop couplers. Add couplers and drop couplers connected to a network optical fiber with wavelength blocker units which filter out optical signals at selected wavelengths on the optical fiber. The wavelength blocker units are distributed among the add and drop couplers so that each segment of the optical fiber between pairs of neighboring wavelength blocker units has at least three add and drop couplers. More specifically, each segment has the following relationship: THRU+ADD+DROP+LOCAL≦TOTAL where THRU is the number of channels passing through the segment; ADD is the number of channels added within the segment; DROP the number of channels dropped within the segment; LOCAL the number of channels confined within the segment; and TOTAL is the total capacity of the optical fiber.

    摘要: An autoprotected optical communication ring network is disclosed. The ring network includes two optical carriers that are arranged for bidirectional transmission. Multiple optically reconfigurable nodes are connected along the optical carriers. The nodes communicate in pairs, defining non-overlapping working links. Under normal conditions, the nodes of each pair are optically configured to exchange optical signals over the working link at a first wavelength on the first carrier and at a second wavelength that is different from the first wavelength on the second carrier. During a failure condition, the first wavelength on the second carrier and the second wavelength on the first carrier are reserved for effecting a protection scheme, while the first wavelength on the first carrier and the second wavelength on the second carrier can still be used for unaffected working links.

    摘要: Systems and methods for reliable and low cost optical connection verification. One application is verification and monitoring of optical cross-connect performance. A connection is verified by splitting off optical signals at both ports of the connection, converting the signals to electrical signals, and then cross-correlating to verify connectivity between the ports. Lowpass filtering applied to the electrical signals may be applied to reduce the complexity of the cross-correlation.

    摘要: In an optical network a 1+1 bidirectional protection system is presented. Each node across a link has photodiodes to monitor the power of signals received by the node on receiving working and protection optical fibers and also optical switches connected to transmission working and protection optical fibers to modulate signals to its counterpart node across the link. When a node detects a fault in the receiving working optical fiber, not only does the node switch to the receiving protection optical fiber, but it also switches to the transmission protection optical fiber to signal the fault to the node across the link. The optical switches on transmission working and protection optical fibers allow the two nodes across the link to signal each other at a protocol-less or primary protocol level for the link to revert back to its initial state.
