    摘要: An object of the present invention is to provide an optical communication system and an optical communication method capable of achieving a long transmission distance with a passive element and obtaining redundancy of a ring topology.
    The optical communication system according to the present invention is a PON system having a ring configuration, in which an unequal branch optical splitter having a left-right symmetrical configuration is disposed in a trunk fiber wired in a loop shape. An OLT and an ONU have a configuration in which two sets of Tx (transmitter) and Rx (receiver) are mounted. Two sets of Tx (transmitters) and Rx (receivers) in each of a plurality of ONUs are respectively connected to left and right symmetrical ports of one unequally branched light beam SP.

    摘要: A communication system of a passive optical communication network includes an optical line terminal (OLT) system including a first OLT, a second OLT, and an OLT control device that controls the first OLT and the second OLT, a plurality of splitters that connect the first OLT and the second OLT with an optical communication path, and an ONU that is connected to each of the splitters with an optical communication path. The splitter distributes and outputs an optical signal transmitted from the OLT system to the ONU connected to the splitter and a succeeding device that is another splitter or the OLT system, and the OLT control device determines a distribution ratio at the splitter, the distribution ratio indicating a ratio between the intensity of the optical signal distributed to the succeeding device and the intensity of the optical signal distributed to the ONU.

    摘要: An optical transceiver module includes an optical transceiver and a controller. The optical transceiver has a ring filter configured to transmit optical signals from or receive optical signals for the optical transceiver module. The controller is configured to: detect a carrier frequency at the optical transceiver; detect a data signal frequency of data at the optical transceiver; determine a bit error rate of the data; and in response to determining that the bit error rate of the data is greater than a threshold, periodically vary a central wavelength of the ring filter at a frequency at least three orders slower than the data signal frequency.

    摘要: An optical network element includes a connection to an optical fiber in an optical line system including a coherent receiver; a microphone configured to detect sound; and circuitry connected to the microphone and configured to cause transmission of information related to sounds detected by the microphone to a receiver at an end of the optical line system, wherein the transmission is over the optical fiber in the optical line system to the coherent receiver. The optical network element can include a polarization controlling device connected to the circuitry and configured to modulate a state-of-polarization (SOP) envelope for the transmission.

    摘要: A node in a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system is provided, which includes: a colorless optical transmitter, a first arrayed waveguide grating, a first waveband filter configured to divide an input optical signal into M sub-signals of different wavebands and output to a first optical switch, and a first optical coupler/a first optical combiner. A transmit end of the colorless optical transmitter is coupled to an input end of the first waveband filter via the first arrayed waveguide grating. The first optical switch is configured to connect an output end of the first waveband filter to an input end of the first optical coupler/the first optical combiner according to a control signal. An output end of the first optical coupler/the first optical combiner is coupled to an optical transmission path.
