摘要： The invention relates to a reconfigurable optical switching system for selectively coupling one or more frequencies of first and second input wavelength division multiplex signals (WDM1, WDM2) consisting of N channels to first and second output ports (O1, O2). The invention also relates to a variable and reconfigurable optical delay circuit comprising said optical switching system associated with an optical delay loop. The input frequency division multiplex optical spectra (WDM1, WDM2) are therefore divided by a first demultiplexer (Demux) to a plurality of interleaved stages of optical switches (D, C, A and B) which selectively feed a plurality of input ports (Mi) of a multiplexer (Mux), which then uses its routing properties to implement in particular the complex reconfigurable multiple 2×2 frequency switching function.

摘要： A method and a device for compensating the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) of a transmitted optical signal comprise means of a polarization controller (3) coupled to a differential group delay (DGD) generator (5). The polarization controller (3) is controlled by a feedback loop, said feedback loop implementing an optimisation algorithm to optimize a feedback parameter of the output signal of the DGD generator (5). The algorithm takes into account the state of polarization (SOP) of an optical signal determined from the output signal of the polarization controller (3)) or from the output signal from the DGD generator (5).

摘要： A decision system for a modulated electrical signal delivered by a converter in response to a received modulated optical signal compares the amplitude of the electrical signal to a reference level, measures an average amplitude of the electrical signal, and generates the reference level as a function of the result of such measurements so that the “reference level/average amplitude” ratio can be adjusted to a predetermined constant value different from 1. Applications include receivers for optical packet transmission systems.

摘要： In order to increase the distance over which binary data can be transmitted over an optical fiber, the device compensates for fiber-generated chromatic dispersion by modulating the emitted light wave both in power and in phase, in such a manner as to ensure that there is a phase shift of close to 180.degree. within each binary cell for which the optical power is low but not zero. The device comprises a Mach-Zehnder type interferometer made on a substrate of III-V elements and designed so that in the absence of electrical voltages being applied to its electrodes it establishes destructive interference. A control circuit applies control voltages to the electrodes which voltages have DC components that are substantially equal, with at least one of the control voltages being the result of superposing a bias voltage on a filtered signal obtained by lowpass filtering an input electrical signal. The invention is applicable to long distance transmission over standard optical fibers.
