摘要:
At the time of receiving a repeater supervisory signal superimposed on or combined by wavelength multiplexing with a main optical signal in an optical amplifier repeater system, the received optical signal is subjected to a photoelectric conversion by a photodetector and then branched into two electric signals, the one of which is subjected to equalizing amplification, timing extraction and discrimination and regeneration to extract only the main signal component. The main signal component thus extracted and the main signal contained in the other electric signal, which is not regenerated, are respectively subjected to required equalization, delay adjustment and amplitude adjustment so that they match with one another in waveform, phase and amplitude. In addition, the amplitude adjustment of the main signal is automatically controlled. By differentially combining these signals to remove only the main signal component to minimize its residual value, thereby extracting the supervisory signal to be obtained.

A line monitoring apparatus which features a simple configuration is capable of quickly detecting a position where a failure has occurred. A main track signal on an up-stream optical transmission path is set for a different wavelength from that on a down-stream optical transmission path, so that the wavelength of loopback signals fed back from repeaters does not overlap the wavelength of the main track signals transmitted from a transmitting terminal station. This makes it possible to separate the main track signals and the loopback signals by using dividing circuits at receiving terminal stations. In addition, the level of the separated loopback signals can be set higher than that in the past; therefore, a monitoring signal can be quickly detected in the loopback signal.

The purpose of the invention is to detect a surveillance signal in a shorter time without lowering the usable merit of wavelength. The transmission signal transmitting through the optical fiber transmission lines is specified as a light FDM signal multiplexed in wavelength, and the surveillance light signal is interposed in the middle of two adjacent channel slots. The surveillance light signal is produced such that the spread spectrum is applied to the surveillance carrier and thereby a light signal is modulated in intensity. The light FDM signal and surveillance light signal are turned to the facing transmission lines in the optical repeaters to be received by each terminal station, and the modulation rate of the surveillance light signal can be made deeper so that the surveillance signal can be detected in a shorter time.

A laser light generator includes an adder 12 which adds an optical frequency modulation signal Sm onto a d.c. voltage for driving a laser diode 10 for continuous laser oscillation, and applies the sum signal to the laser diode 10 to drive it. An light output from the laser diode 10 is introduced to an optical intensity controller 14 that is controlled by a control signal prepared by adjusting the optical frequency modulation signal Sm both in phase and in amplitude by a phase adjusting circuit 16 and an amplitude adjusting circuit 18. The optical intensity controller 14 may be an electroabsorption modulator that changes its transmissivity in response to an output voltage of the circuit 18. Quantities of adjustment by the circuits 16 and 18 are determined so that fluctuation in transmissivity of the optical intensity controller 14 suppresses intensity fluctuation of the light output of the laser diode 10.

摘要:
An oscillator oscillates at a predetermined reference frequency, and a reference signal light sender generates light (reference signal light) of a specific wavelength deeply modulated by output from the oscillator. A frequency divider frequency-divides the output from the oscillator into a certain number, and outputs a tone signal of a predetermined measurement frequency. Output from the frequency divider is applied to selected one of a plurality of optical transmission signal senders via one of a plurality of switches, and is used to slightly intensity-modulate a corresponding optical transmission signal. An optical divider in an optical repeater outputs most of output light from an optical amplifier onto an optical fiber transmission line toward a terminal station, and applies small amounts of the light to a measuring circuit. The measuring circuit synchronously detects the measurement frequency component in the received light using the reference frequency obtained from the reference signal light of the specific wavelength. A modulator slightly varies the amplification gain of the other optical amplifier that amplifies the signal light travelling on the other optical fiber transmission line in response to results of measurement by the measuring circuit.
