摘要:
A polarized wave diversity optical receiver for coherent optical communication including: an optical local oscillating circuit (7) for oscillating local oscillating light; a mixing circuit (8) for mixing signal light and the local oscillating light to obtain two polarized components; a detecting circuit (9) for detecting the polarized component to output intermediate frequency signals (e.sub.S and e.sub.P); and a frequency control circuit (11) for controlling, in accordance with the intermediate frequency signals (e.sub.S and e.sub.P), the oscillating frequency of the optical local oscillating circuit (7). To ensure that the intermediate frequency does not disappear, the frequency control circuit (11) outputs a combined signal of a sum and a difference of the intermediate frequency signals (e.sub.S and e.sub.P).

A direct modulation PSK system and method, in a coherent optical fiber transmission system, in which an injection current supplied to a laser diode is adapted to be directly varied is disclosed. In this system or method, a modulating current pulse is superposed on a bias current for the laser diode so that a specified phase condition may be satisfied. Thereby, a differential coding circuit and an external modulator being indispensable for a DPSK system become unnecessary and, in addition, the system becomes less susceptible to the influence of wavelength dispersion than the DPSK system and able to reproduce the carrier.
摘要:
A receiver for coherent optical communication in a phase diversity system. An optical hybrid circuit receives a signal beam and receives a local-oscillator beam which has a predetermined phase shift. The optical hybrid circuit branches each beam into pairs, each pair having one signal beam and one local-oscillator beam. These beam pairs are output to first and second photodetectors which each apply a photoelectric conversion, thus producing first and second output signals. The output signals are output to an electrical 90.degree. hybrid circuit which shifts the first signal by 90.degree. and adds it to the second signal to produce a first output signal, and shifts the second signal by 90.degree. and adds it to the first signal to produce a second output signal. The first and second output signals are applied to first and second demodulators, respectively, which delay the signals by a delay corresponding to their frequency. The demodulators output the delayed signals to an adder which adds the two signals to produce an output signal. As a result, the receiver is capable of compensating the wavelength dispension is an optical fiber to secure an enhanced receiving sensitivity.

After mixing the signal light and the local oscillation light with a mixing circuit, two intersecting polarization components are divided by a polarization splitter and respective components are subjected to heterodyne detection by optical receivers. Thereafter, in an electric signal stage, the intermediate frequency signal outputted from the optical receivers are applied to a 90-degree hybrid coupler and the output signal from one of the output ports is demodulated by a demodulator. On the other hand, an intermediate frequency signal outputted from the optical receivers are subjected to a subtraction to provide a principal axis angle monitor signal for the signal light. The signal outputted from the output port from the 90-degree hybrid coupler is used to monitor the elliptic ratio of the signal light and these monitor signals are applied to the polarization control circuit. The polarization control circuit drives the polarization operation apparatus based on said monitor signal to control the polarization state (i.e. a principal axis angle and the elliptic ratio) of the signal light to achieve the optimum state.

An optical signal receiver comprising an optical mixing/polarization splitting unit for producing IF optical signals having two orthogonally polarized components, an optical signal receiving unit for producing four corresponding IF electric signals, and a combining circuit for combining two IF electric signals having one polarization with the other two IF electric signals having the other polarization, suppressing fluctuation of the polarization and the intensity noise of the related local optical signal. The intensity noise suppression is also effective for IF electric signals having a higher frequency range.

In an OADM system, an OADM device includes an AOTF. The AOTF can select an optional wavelength by changing the frequency of an RF signal to be applied. An optical signal having a specified wavelength can be dropped from a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal input from an input terminal, or a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal input from an add port can be multiplexed with a through optical signal. However, considering the increase in coherent cross talk, the AOTF should be exclusively used for dropping in an actual device configuration. Otherwise, a drop optical signal is branched by an optical coupler with the wavelength selected by a tributary station. Thus, the wavelength selected by the tributary station can be extracted by the AOTF from the through optical signal.

M wavelength separating sections receive multiplexed optical signals each having N kinds of wavelengths different. Each of the multiplexed optical signals are separated into N optical signals. M relays conduct optical reproduction and relay to convert each of the N optical signals into electric signals and then produce optical signals modulated with desired optical wavelengths. A refill section mutually refills M sets of the reproduced and relayed optical signals. A focusing section focuses the M sets of optical signals refilled in the refill section. A light source supplies input lights having desired wavelengths, which lights are modulated in the relays. The light source includes N light sources outputting N kinds of optical wavelengths. A multiplexer/brancher multiplexes the lights from the N light sources to produce a multiplexed light and branches the multiplexed light into M×N distributed lights. M wavelength filters distribuitively receive N distributed lights of the M×N distributed lights.
