摘要:
A multiplexing/demultiplexing apparatus used in wavelength division multiplexed passive optical subscriber networks comprises a multiplexing/demultiplexing means each having a natural number N input and output ports, wherein wavelength divided signals in one direction inputted through the N−1 input ports are multiplexed onto one output port, and simultaneously wavelength division multiplexed signals in the other direction inputted through the remainder one input port are demultiplexed onto the remainder N−1 output ports. According to the present invention it is possible to implement economical and efficient wavelength division multiplexed passive optical subscriber networks, by including two WGR's, one at the central office and one at the remote node to perform simultaneous multiplexing and demultiplexing of signals in upstream and downstream, and employing an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to be able to use a low-cost light source such as a light-emitting diode.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for monitoring optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) in a wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission system. The present invention utilizes a polarization nulling method and a tunable optical bandpass filter in order to reliably monitor the OSNR by considering a finite polarization nulling ratio, polarization mode dispersion and non-linear birefringence of the optical system in real time measurement of the OSNR. Further, the tunable optical bandpass filter is controlled to filter all wavelength bands of wavelength division multiplexed signals. Since the invention may monitor a plurality of demultiplexed optical signals with a single apparatus, the overall cost of the OSNR monitoring equipment is significantly reduced.

An apparatus monitoring frequency of WDM signals using pilot tone and two interleaved solid etalon filters for efficient management and maintenance of wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission network is provided. Desirably, the apparatus for optical frequency monitoring includes splitting means, a plurality of optical filtering means, optical detecting means, and frequency detecting means. The splitting means splits optical signal and the optical signal includes pilot tone. The plurality of optical filtering means filters an output of the splitting means with particular passband. The optical detecting means converts an output of the optical filtering means into electrical signal. The frequency detecting means detects an intensity of the pilot tone from an output of the optical detecting means and calculates optical frequency.
摘要:
The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of optical signals that are demultiplexed into a plurality of optical channels by a wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical transmission system is monitored by an apparatus which outputs the optical signals of each optical channel on a first path and a second path, and measures the signal intensity of each of the optical signals on the first path. The apparatus selectively passes an AC component of each of the optical signals on the second path and processes the AC component by converting the AC component into a digital signal and performing a fast fourier transform on the digital signal. The apparatus measures the noise intensity of the processed AC component on the second path. The OSNR of each optical signal is calculated by comparing the measured signal intensity of each of the optical signals and the measured noise intensity of the processed AC component of each of the optical signals.
