    Abstract: This application provides a port detection method, an optical network device, and a passive optical network system, to quickly and accurately detect a port connected to an ONU, and improve efficiency of determining the port connected to the ONU. The method includes: an optical line terminal sends optical signals corresponding to all of N wavelengths to at least one optical network unit, where the N wavelengths are different from each other, and N is a positive integer; the OLT receives optical power values that are of the optical signals corresponding to all of the N wavelengths and that are sent by a first ONU, where the first ONU is any one of the at least one ONU; and the OLT determines, bases on the optical power values of the optical signals corresponding to all of the N wavelengths, information about an optical splitter port corresponding to the first ONU.

    Abstract: In order to prevent a signal which a terminal station does not require from being intercepted by the terminal station without greatly changing the power of optical signals to be transmitted from a node to the terminal station, a node device is provided with: a first optical unit which outputs a first optical signal received from a first terminal station and addressed to a second terminal station, and a second optical signal received from the first terminal station, addressed to a third terminal station, and having a different wavelength band from the first optical signal; and a second optical unit to which the first and second optical signals outputted from the first optical unit are inputted, and which shifts the frequency of the first optical signal by a predetermined amount to create a fourth optical signal, passes the second optical signal without any change, couples the second and fourth optical signals, and transmits a resultant signal to the third terminal station.

    Abstract: A subsea optical communication network includes branch systems whereby transponders may be connected to trunk fibers carrying data to and from the transponders, e.g., to and from shore. Trunk nodes split transponder receive signals off the trunk and couple transponder transmit signals onto the trunk. Each trunk node also removes a wavelength/channel from the trunk signal to compensate for the wavelength being added with transponder data. Removed wavelengths may be selected from idler wavelengths, e.g., empty channels or noise, or previously dropped transponder wavelengths. Branch signals may be single wavelength in either direction, allowing the use of low-bandwidth repeaters, and the same wavelength may be used in both directions. Branch signals may alternatively contain plural wavelengths that load a standard wide-bandwidth commercial repeater, where an optical add drop multiplexer is used to select the wavelength of interest to the transponder after the repeater.
