    摘要: Communication devices, communication systems and communication methods that implement transmission lane information are disclosed. In one example, circuitry is configured to receive transmission lane information from each of a plurality of reception lanes and to generate physical lane correspondence information based on the received transmission lane information, wherein the transmission lane information identifies a plurality of transmission lanes of a device that transmitted the transmission lane information. The physical lane correspondence information indicates a correspondence relationship between the plurality of transmission lanes and the plurality of reception lanes.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a system for analyzing optical networks includes a network analyzer optically coupled to a fiber optic network. The network analyzer may transmit a test signal to the fiber optic network, receive a reflected signal in response to transmitting the test signal, wherein the reflected signal is generated in response to the test signal interacting with a defect of the fiber optic network. The analyzer may then analyze a power of the reflected signal, wherein the power of the reflected signal corresponds to the defect in the fiber optic network, calculate a transmit time of the reflected signal, wherein the transmit time corresponds a location of the defect in the fiber optic network, identify a component of the fiber optic network corresponding to the defect and the location of the defect in the fiber optic network, and generate a maintenance report based on the analyzed reflected signal.

    摘要: Systems and methods using a polarimetric measurement device to localize a source of one or more State of Polarization (SOP) transients affecting one or more optical fibers are disclosed. The method includes transmitting a signal into a fiber in a first direction; receiving, at the polarimetric measurement device, the signal from one of the fiber and another fiber collocated in a bundle with the fiber in a second direction; and processing data from the polarimetric measurement device to determine a location of the one or more SOP transients. The processing can include detecting a presence of the one or more SOP transients based on a first signature and its echo seen in the data; and converting a time between the echoes into a distance.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for protecting daisy chain networks from node malfunction or power outage are disclosed. One or more communication nodes in a daisy chain network can be bypass-capable communication nodes. Bypass-capable communication nodes can include a sensing and switching subsystem, embedded in the node or external to the node in a fiber optic cable running along the daisy chain network. In embodiments, the sensing and switching subsystem can responsively switch the bypass-capable communication node from communication node primary circuitry to primary circuitry responsive to node malfunction or node power outage. The sensing and switching subsystem also can switch back from bypass circuitry to primary circuitry responsive to restoration of node function or node power. In embodiments, switching occurs responsive to excitation or de-excitation of the node itself.

    摘要: An optical transmission system includes an optical transmission apparatus and an optical receiving apparatus. The optical transmission apparatus includes a transmitting unit that transmits signal light to the optical receiving apparatus through an optical transmission path, and a determining unit that determines continuity of the optical path using return light that returns from the optical receiving apparatus to the optical transmission apparatus through the optical transmission path, out of the signal light. The optical transmission apparatus includes a modulating unit that modulates a part of the signal light that is transmitted from the optical transmission apparatus through the optical transmission path to generate the return light, and an output unit that outputs the return light to the optical transmission apparatus through the optical transmission path.
